I also started out learning computer hardware on the PDP 11/45 at Maynard.
The only thing hard about the class was trying to figure out what those
hyroglyphics were that described somehow the internal workings of the thing
:). Hardware repair was pretty much limited to putting tape on one of the
board gold fingers so it didn't make proper contact when the board was
reinstalled.
