Stuart and Jon: You got me with your talk of PDP11 memory tests and "insanely complex systems with PDP-11s with hundreds of ISR addresses"...I was immediately transported back to the 1970s. I still have the tactile memory of keying in the bootstrap loader from the front panel, over and over and over, as we debugged our laboratory control programs, and keying in our patches because it was too time consuming to reassemble and link code in our "high speed" punched papertape environment. I have also worked with PDP8s, HP2100s, DG Novas, and even Interdata minis, but I loved the PDP11 the most.
I know some lucky folks have original PDP11 front panels. I was too young to think to salvage mine when the relay racks were forklifted out of the lab. Those were the days!
