It was a specially microcoded PDP-11/45. As soon as the VAX prototype hardware was available they stopped using the 11/45 and switched over to the VAX prototype. To the best of my knowledge this was the only PDP-11 that actually ran "VMS". -- Dick Munroe Internet: munroe@dmc.com Doyle Munroe Consultants, Inc.
