The MEM11 is a multi-function memory board for Unibus based PDP-11
computers. It contains:
* 128KW memory
* Emulates console ROM & boot ROMs
* 2 SLUs (DL11s)
* KW11K
* KW11P
* KW11L
* KW11W
* RF11 (emulating up to 8 RS11 disks)
* KE11
Because of the large number of devices that exist
Hi Guy,
Hello!?! What is the MEM11 Board and are there other boards to make this a
fully functional PDP11? I definitely want to know! Thanks in advance.
