This discussion of hardware is making me wonder --
does this nail down
the hardware? The 1ed manuals mention tht they ran on a 24kbyte
pdp 11/20, but that they were eying an 11/45. My reading of the code
was making me lean towards the original 11/20 configuration, but it
sounds like some of these features might be present in the 11/40 or
11/45?
Use of EAE is HIGHLY unlikely on anything after the 11/20.
There was a better solution (EIS) for the 11/40 and forward.
The note for the Jan 73 talk mentions they were still working on writing
the 11/45 version, which puts the release well after the code you're working
with.
Still looking for EAE docs. May have to scan an 11/20 handbook to get it.
