I'm going to _guess_ that it was the earlier caption; I definitely recall reading somewhere (maybe that history thing I already provided a link to) that when the PDP-11/20 first arrived, DEC didn't have a disk drive for it, and so it sat in a corner for some months (running some chess problem) until the disk arrived. So that argues that it was a very early production machine. Noel Noel - OK that is what I also read.... so probably would have said PDP-11 on the front panel not 11/20 if it was that early if we subscribe to the theory that the ones labeled 11 only were before the 11/20 I do wonder if there are any photograph of the system they used at the get go of the PDP-11 use? Need a photo that has definite date info.... yes, the systems are the same but some of this is important as I do the display cards for the 11/20 we have here at SMECC Thx Ed# _www.smecc.org_ (http://www.smecc.org)
