I seem to remember there were a few PDP-11 fans on here...

I joined DEC in 1978 to work on its PDP-11/70 project, which was to be
the biggest model so far, and which the UK side of the company was
leading on the software side. About six weeks after I joined the project
was canned in favour of the Vax.

But they did go on, didn't they? Plenty of people still wanted PDP-11s.

I have an 11/84 which is a good deal later than that.
