None the above systems are tough it really depends on the disks used. The
later of the three in the microPDP-11 format (ba23/123) are very resonable
using MSCP and MFM drives. The QBUS-11s are modest power compared to the
Ubus-11s.
Also the Qbus-11s win in the small sizing as well. I have two BA11n boxen
one with 11/23b and the other 11/73, RX02, RL02, and MSCP disks all in one
50" rack.

A qbus 11/73 (or 83) a meg of ram and disks would be comfortably under
500 watts. Adding an RL02 is not painful though it uses more than the
CPU box total. The massbus disks or RK/RMs are high power just for the
spindle motors.

You could if you set up event, ACOK and DCOK. Most of the DEC supplies
are actually lowvoltage switchers (744s) and the later ones are high
voltage swicthers (BA11s/BA32/BA123... all qbus).
<Are there special electrical requirements? I can always find a separate

The bigger Ubus machines and some of the bigger (physically too) disks
are killer though most common PDP11s are really quite moderate to small in

I ahve V7 up on an 11/73 on one RL02 pack (10mb) and it's cramped with
about 4mb free. Two RL02s would be pretty good. If I can get 2.11 up
that will talk to the MSCP disks RD52(31mb)/53(71mb) and I'd expect plenty
of space then.

[What PDP-11s run Unix...]
I currently run Version 7 on a PDP-11/83 Q-bus box stored under my bed.
(I have a hospital bed, the kind you can crank up and down - Mine's about
3/4 the way up)
The RL02 I boot from is twice the size of the CPU!
I also have an MSCP device that I load RT-11 from.
BTW, there is a setting in the '83 Setup program called allow-alternate-bootblock,
you can directly boot Unix by enabling this. Does that work on an 11/73 as well?
I just turn on the RL, start the disk and the CPU at the same time, and the disk
comes ready just at the 9-step check finishes.
I say unix and off it goes.
Now, I I could just get it to see my DHQ11...

It's simply beautiful. The PDP-11 architecture is the pinnacle of
16-bit computing, as the 6502 (the world's first RISC chip) is the
unchallenged champion of elegance in 8-bit microprocessors. The
cleanliness and orthogonality of the PDP-11 is a wonder to behold.
To top it off, they also knew when to _break_ orthogonality to make
proper use of the addressing mode bit combinations that don't make
sense for use with the program counter.
A good friend of mine, for whom I have much respect, claims that the
PDP-10 is even more beautiful. I can't comment on this, not knowing
that architecture, but myself I've seen nothing to challenge the '11.
Among more modern processors, I'm quite partial to Motorola's MC68K.
I also like the Transputer -- who doesn't? As for microcontrollers,
I've worked quite a bit with the Intel MCS-51 chips, and enjoyed it.
For the definition of "butt ugly", see the Intel i386 and its ilk.

Would probably be a better idea, yes. :-)
You are making
atleast four assumptions which are wrong here.
1) Data starts from address 0. They most likely do not.
I'm not sure what you mean here; can you elaborate?
As I see it my key assumption about data was that it is
relatively small in size compared to code in a given program file.
This was certainly the case with factor, where less than 10% of the
runtime image consisted of static data.
But you made an assumption that addrtesses to data don't come in theflt.
op-code range, since few programs have that much data. But, by assuming
that they don't have "that much" data, you must also assume that whatever
little dtaa there is don't start at a high address. Your program can have
as little as one word of data, located at 177776, referenced a zillion
times, and your algorithm will catch it as a zillion flt. ops.
3) All data
are not words. How about bytes? If a byte is in the range
240-255 and on an odd address, you'll catch it as a FP opcode.
My routine scanned words, not bytes, so I don't think this would
apply.
Oh, it most definitely does.
Tell me, what is the difference between a string of two bytes, a word, and
an instruction in memory?
Nothing. It's just a question of how you look at it.
So when you are talking about a word, how do you know that the programmer
didn't write two bytes there?
The reason I said "odd addres" was because the byte at the odd address is
the high byte of the word you are looking at.
4) Not all
data are addresses. Most negative numbers will have 17 as the
high four bits.
This is true. But if data is negligible compared to code, then I
don't see how this wouldn't affect an estimate very much.
That is a good point. But it's still a problem.
The point is more or less always, but a lot of small errors...
:-)

In response to your criticism, I looked up jmp and branch
instructions in the *Processor Handbook*. Based only on my quick
skim of the handbook, I don't think negative relative addresses would
be a problem because:
1. branch instructions are followed by a signed byte offset (-128,
127). This would not be a problem for my routine which only looks at
the first four bits of every word and would ignore the offset in the
odd byte.
Correct.
2. jump instructions, which seem at first glance to be
a problem
because they are followed by a 16 bit word, are not because they
always use absolute addressing, never relative and hence would never
be followed by a negative number.
2 wrong.
. Where did you get the idea that jump instructions have to be absolute?
. What about jumps to absolute addresses in the flt. op-code range?
I'm not sure about the 2BSD assembler, but the normal way of coding is to
have *all* addressing relative in the DEC assemblers. That means not just
jumps, but all instructions which takes arguments.
Almost all have word arguments, branch being one of the few exceptions.

What do people here on the list think of the
flexibility and
generality of the PDP-11's addressing modes? Is this a well thought
out architecture in your view? How are the PDP-11's addressing modes

The PDP-11 did it right, all others did it wrong. :-)
Well, at least as long as you're talking about general register machines.
(And points could be made that the M68K isn't very general about its
registers...)
For accumulator machines, I guess the vote goes to the PDP-10.
All with a big :-) of course. This is religion...

Two additions to make the list officially complete:
QBUS: 11/93
Unibus: 11/94
The last PDP-11s by DEC.
Then you have the never-11s. (See the FAQ.)
Odd numbered machines where the odd digit is a 5 are
usually a Unibus machine.
(They're also old and will eat you out of house and home with their appetite
for electricity. :)
They are also normally just about the same machine as the next number in
line, but for OEM markets.
11/05 - 11/10
11/15 - 11/20
11/35 - 11/40
Has anyone looked at the possibility of retrofitting
older pdp11's with modern
switching power supplies to ease the electricity demands...?
(donning asbestos suit in anticipation of cries of "heretic" and
"Frankenstein"...)
:-)
Well, as far as I know, all of the already have switching supplies...
Possibly not the 11/15 and 11/20, but if anyone has one of those, and
makes such a modification, I *will* brand him as an heretic. :-)
