[personal] RE: UK PDP 11/10 - 11/40 NGTE Installations

[Mike Hatch]

That ICL 1904 installation was after my time and I presume it replaced the 
SDS 9300, did not think George went up as high as version 8. Photos in the 
document show the 11/40 in the same position as I remember, and recent forum 
posts show the same wallpaper as appear in the 11/40 photo over 20 years 
later ! .

Who knows what a "British Standard Interface" was, all the interfaces on 
those machines were usually hand built in house, I did some of them !.

Mike.
