 The '''PDP-11/60''' was, in its day, a rather unsuccessful model of [[Digital Equipment Corporation|DEC]]'s [[PDP-11]] line; although considerable more complex than the [[PDP-11/34]], it did not have significant capability advantages over it.
-It had the same [[PDP-11 Memory Management|limited memory management]], without so-called 'I+D separatation', which therefore limited the size of the [[application]]s which could run on it; it also supported only the [[UNIBUS]], which normally limited it to 248KB of [[main memory]].
