Default Re: PDP11/20 demo

I like the old PDP11 series, reminds me of all the time spent in the computer lab at university when I was supposed to be studying. They had PDP11/34 or 35 and later upgraded to 11/70 or 75 and were quite relaxed about system security prior to the upgrade. I don’t remember which type of RK05 it used. It also had a pair of 8 inch floppy drives which I think were a non standard addition. We had read write and execute access to the floppy drives so we could copy a shell program to the floppy and edit the file system to change the permissions to set user id to 0. Occasionally we would crash the system in the evenings and that would be end of play for the day.
