There are print sets (aka Schematics) for all of the DEC PDP-11 systems,
however, as one of, if not the, most popular minicomputer architecture
there is isn't any "single" set of schematics. You have to realize that
PDP-11 architecture machines come in three basic varieties:
        1) Microcoded CPU systems build out of separate parts:
                11/10, 11/20, 11/40, 11/70 etc
        2) Some Integration (Unibus)
                11/04, 11/24, 11/34, 11/44
        3) High Integration (usually Q-bus)
                11/03, 11/23, 11/73, 11/83, 11/93
And some more specialized models
        11/45, 11/55

If you just want to know how PDP-11's work, I reccomend the PDP-11
Architecture handbook published by Digitial Equipment Corporation (nee
Compaq Computer). If you have a particular PDP-11 model that needs
schematics then you need to say what the model number is, and if you have a
PDP-11 with lights and switches and no model number, then it is one of the
"original" PDP-11's and it was later designated the PDP-11/20.
