You had a hex keypad? We started with 16 individual front panel toggle bit switches in the early minicomputer days![]()

Actually that was a little joke. I would not expect anyone to do it by hand.i dont know how to make it by hand.....
I loved PDP11's! I owned a heathkit H11 which was a LSI version of the PDP11. I latter purchased a PDP11/05. The hard drive was a 3rd party unit 10 MB drive. 1 platter was fixed and 1 removable. If you worked in the same room as the computer you needed to wear hearing protection.I know... that is what I learned on... I did however own a museum piece-a DEC PDP11...a 12" rack for the CPU with 2 8K core cards, a 12" 1M platter, and of course the 16 panel switches to toggle in the boot loader. I even had all the schematics!
Me too... did you look at the assy for it? wonderful thing-the machine code had microcode level control!I loved PDP11's! I owned a heathkit H11 which was a LSI version of the PDP11.

My initial setup included an Intertube video terminal and a paper tiger printer. The paper tape worked. After a few months I built the dual floppy. H27 IIRC. SS SD 8 inch floppys.Me too... did you look at the assy for it? wonderful thing-the machine code had microcode level control!
