do you have any examples of what you mean when you say "different models

Look at http://bitsavers.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pdf/dec/pdp11/handbooks/PDP11_Handbook1979.pdf, appendix B.

Example:

    MOV (R0)+,(R1)+

11/34: 3 memory cycles
11/44: 2 memory cycles
11/60: 2 memory cycles
11/70: 2 memory cycles

I think most other smaller/slower machines all use 3 memory cycles, but I would suspect things like the J11 to also only use two memory cycles.

        Hi Doug,

        The core behaviors of the simh simulators are built around the
        execution of instructions.  This is the level which things are
        simulated at.

        What problem are you trying to solve or deal with your request
        to be concerned about clock cycles?


    And even further - single cycle stepping will mean different things
    on different models of the PDP-11. Or rather, different models do
    different amounts of work in a single cycle.
