Amazing Photo With Minicomputer Posters > Late 70s Public Relations, Pittsburgh, PA
This image is a treasure trove.
The poster on wall on left is for a PDP-11/23, which was one of "a series of 16-bit minicomputers sold by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) from 1970 into the 1990s". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDP-11. Specifically, it is the PDP-11/23, "a second generation of LSI (F-11). Early units supported only 248 kB of memory."
The four fanned pennants behind the seated guy's head seems to be a motivational giveaway for a Digital Equipment Corporation conference held on August 15, 1979. I can't find any info on this.
The item on the far right is a "coming soon" poster for "A New Standard of Excellence in 16-Bit Minicomputer Architecture"-- the PDP 11/44. From Wikipedia:
"PDP-11/44 — Replacement for the 11/45 and 11/70 that supported optional cache memory and floating-point processor, and included a sophisticated serial console interface and support for 4 MB of physical memory. The design team was managed by John Sofio. This was the last PDP-11 processor to be constructed using discrete logic gates; later models were all microprogrammed."
Lastly, the book underneath the plans they're reviewing is "The Silva Mind Control Method"
