I remember 256 KB, $2200, 1983. Adjusted for inflation, that's about $4500 in 2007 dollars. I was an undergrad at the time, writing data collection and analysis software for a biology professor. She had a MINC-11, which was an LSI-11/23 (the 2nd gen microprocessor implementation of the PDP-11 architecture) built into a lab cart with a nice collection of analog modules: D/A, A/D, and a high precision timer are the ones I can remember. Of course, there's nothing there you couldn't duplicate today with your laptop's built-in sound chip. Dual 8" floppy drives, too. http://www.binarydinosaurs.co.uk/Museum/Digital/minc/index.php http://hampage.hu/pdp11/kepek/minc.jpg -- Bob Miller K<bob> [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
