INTRODUCTION
This Handbook is intended for users of any PDP-ll family system. It describes
standard
PDP-ll peripherals and options and provides detailed information on
interfacing to the PDp·ll UNIBUS.
This Handbook supplements information contained each of the PDP-ll family
p)'ocesso)' hantll2oak.s..
Part I describes each PDp·ll peripheral device and includes programming infor-
mation. Part II covers the operation of the PDP-ll UNIBUS and describes inter-
