Comment on A brief tour of the PDP-11, the most influential minicomputer of all time (2022)Comments−jakzurr2moUsed several of these at school in the 90's. IIRC intro classes used VAX/VMS (was the machine called VAX-1170?). But all the higher undergrad classes used Unix on PDP-11/70's, like in the picture. Of course, I hardly ever saw one up close. :p−jakzurr2mothank god we weren't still using paper tape & punch cards, everything was old crt terminals, and online storage (though not very much)
