[cctalk] DEC Prom MRV11-C and MXV11-B2 ROMS
Is it possible to use the MXV11-B2 Roms in an 18 bit MRV11-C Prom board? Clearly they work in the 22 bit version, MRV11-D, but I don't have one of those. The intention is to put together a small PDP-11 in an H9281-AB backplane (18 bit) with an 11/23 or 11/73 CPU, Ram, disk controller, etc.

Everyone knows (or ought to, at this point) RMS is a weird guy and at best makes some seriously questionable life choices and misinformed public statements. There's a reason he was forcibly removed from his position at MIT. I've met him in person, he's a weird guy. Both GNU and FSF have grown much larger than RMS. Thanks, Jonathan

I once heard a story from someone* who was told by a journalist that while said journalist was interviewing Richard Stallman he was [WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT COMMENCES HERE] picking the jam from between his toes and eating it.
