I have 1M of memory.
Sure you're not confusing the 11/23 with the 11/23+? I was poking at
4.6M+'s SYSGEN and it wouldn't accept 11/23 as an answer.
The difference between the 11/23 and 11/23+ is the amount of memory. The
original 11/23 could not go above 256K... If you have more, then you
actually have an 11/23+.
In practice, though, the vast majority of systems out there that say
"PDP-11/23" (not -PLUS) on the front are in fact capable of 22-bit
addressing; you've gotta look at the etch rev of the CPU board. See my
other email.
Aha. Thanks for the information, Dave. I knew that very few 11/23 systems really were
limited to 18 bits, but I didn't know exactly which ones. So even the M8186 boards are
mostly 22-bit. Really nice to know.
