Photo of a Digital KDF-11B CPU Board
Description
A photograph of the KDF-11B is a CPU processor module developed by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for its PDP-11 family of 16-bit minicomputers. The KDF-11B board is associated with the PDP-11/23+.
Technically, the KDF-11B is a quad-height CPU module that encapsulates the core PDP-11 instruction set and execution logic using DEC’s F-11 chipset. In addition to the core processor functions, the board included sockets for optional features such as memory management units and floating-point units, onboard ROM for bootstrap and diagnostics, and integrated serial communication interfaces.
