Yes, the pdp-11/20, released in 1969. Core memory only. In my opinion, it took the pdp-11/45 to firmly establish an impressive new line of machines, separate and more powerful than the pdp-8 line. But, in DEC's way of thinking, it's instructive to note that a pdp-11/40 was used as the console of the DECsystem-20. Separately, it's a shame we no longer have 36-bit machines; 36-bit ints would hold time_t just fine, and 72-bit doubles will work great for science. Oh well. What we're stuck with now bytes. |
