Some -11s (like the 11/20, 11/35, 11/45, and 11/70) had toggle switch front panels. The 11/34 had the octal keyboard, and some systems like the 11/44 didn't have much more than a power switch.
My high school, back in the day, had an 11/34 running RSTS/E with a bunch of terminals hanging off it. Our classes taught BASIC-PLUS and COBOL (actually WATBOL), but no assembler.
The biggest irony? Back in 1980, my teacher was warning us about Year 2000 issues. Some years back, when I got a RSTS/E 7.0 system (the version that my high school had) running on SIMH, I discovered that 7.0 wasn't Y2K compliant!
