auction, tried
email and they say they are no longer available.

That would be why I said "usually"! :-)

Re: DG One owners? I think I have something.

Hello,
I have two DG One, they are however not identical.
One is the older version, the other is more recent and have a different
display.
I never heard of a keypad accessory, it would be a very nice piece indeed!
I should check for connectors on the back?

Thanks
Andrea

Okay, Newegg dropped a deal on a Seagate 25B "Gaming" SSHD.   Exactly
what does that mean?

Unlike a network GamerGate, it provides storage with similar performance 
to the non-gamer model but hella-cool styling and looks. Glowing LEDs, if

Cool I never noticed it was an industrial 11 10/05, but I have studied this
video in the past.

Oh, that should be 'early units in the BA11-D; later ones used the BA11-K'.

There's an Industrial 11 version of the -11/70, too:

  http://ana-3.lcs.mit.edu/~jnc/tech/pdp11/consoles/1170IndustCenter.jpg

So the only one missing (of the early -11's) is the /45, but I wouldn't be
surprised if that existed too. I've no idea about the /20 (I don't think the
/20R counts), or the later machines without physical switch registers (/04,
/34, etc).

> anyway, I'm not sure

The paint on the front console inlay (I'm not joking :-).

Other than the /15-/20 (which do have slight hardware differences), none of
the OEM/End-User pairs have hardware differences in the circuitry that I know
of (although the /35 was _usually_ supplied in a BA11-D 10-1/2" box, and the
/40 in the BA11-F 21" - and there are rare counter-examples to this rule).
