Description
Film tutorial for the use of the PDP-11/45 mini computer, which was part of the family of PDP-11 computers sold by the Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) in the 1970s and through the 1990s. The PDP-11 line was one of DEC's most successful 'mini computer' (as opposed to a personal computer), and according to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDP-11), the design of the PDP-11 inspired the design of late-1970s microprocessors," including processors from the Intel and Motorola. Given that mini computers pre-dated personal computers, their use is often non-intuitive, and this documentation will assist people in understanding how they were used.
