PDP-11/10
Since hundreds (literally) of DEC manuals, books, etc use "PDP-11/10" to refer to the one with the KD11-B processor, not the 'marketing artifact' from 1969 with the name "PDP-11/10" and a KA-11 CPU, and since there are many physical machines still extant with "PDP-11/10" on them, and a KD11-B inside, I think it would be very misleading to show the PDP-11/10 as having been introduced in 1969. We should put it back the way it was, and include a footnote in small print to show that the name had been recycled from the earlier one. Jnc (talk) 23:05, 22 February 2016 (CET)
