Does anybody know how much
memory was configured on the PDP-11 that Lion's used for the
commentary system. Here's what the book says about the system:
; from lions, page 1
; The code selection presumes a "model" system consisting of:
; PDP11/40 processor;
; RK05 disk drives;
; LP11 line printer;
; PC11 paper tape reader/punch;
; KL11 terminal interface.
I usually add the mag tape, too
; TM10 magnetic tape - not in lions, but super handy
It seems like he must have had an MMU and 128k memory, but I don't
know. I'm hoping y'all remember, know, or can otherwise divine the
correct value. I've run with no MMU - crash on boot. I've also run
with less memory, but then cc won't build mkconf, when I have the
TM10 enabled kernel loaded. As a reminder, his book was published
in 1977.
Thanks,
Will
