Yes. The 8 & 9 machines were ECL, the rest were TTL. IIRC, those were the
32/87, 9780, PN9600.
David mentioned disks on the PN (Unix) series. Those were formatted with
multiple of 512 byte sectors. The RTM/MPX machines used 768 byte sectors,
which was super optimal for the disks they happened to

First released in '72, if memory serves.
It was in production for a _long_ time, though - no later model really
replaced it (if you wanted a mid-sized machine with a lot of crunch), unlike
many of the other -11's (e.g. /05, /

1972 I think. It's a very nice machine, all TTL (over 1000 ICs in CPU, MMU
and floating point processor). I suppose the 11/70 is even more fun
(with 22 bit addressing, etc) but the 11/45 is one of my all-time favou

The 32/77-series was a 32-bit machine implemented in ECL, based on
earlier SEL designs, but is definitely Gould in design/manufacture.

Those rack mounted zip drives look like the same devices in the "Decpack

They're calling them "avionics," so I wonder if these are from a flight
