As these have been recently discussed here...

I was checking out osnews.com this morning, and they had linked a couple of
articles related to the PDP-11.  The first gives a brief history of the
machine, its assembly language, and its architecture, calling it the "most
influential minicomputer of all time."

The second article is about running UNIX v6 in an emulator on modern
equipment by writing your own device drivers.  The article mentions that
this version of UNIX was developed in 1975 on a PDP-11 machine.

I thought some of you that are currently attempting to emulate PDP series
machines might find these interesting.
