The DEC system handbooks, which they gave out for free, were incredibly thorough and informative. Here's a link to the PDP-11 ones on Bitsavers: http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/dec/pdp11/handbooks/ http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/dec/pdp11/handbooks/ It's harder nowdays to get your hands on a LSI-based PDP-11 system than it was in say, 2000 or so - but simh lets you emulate just about anything you might want, with less space and power usage.
