Your thinking of the Heath H11 which was in fact an LSI-11/02. But it had
none DEC hardware peripherals like the console SLU and disk controller.
I believe it came with something billed as HT-11 which was RT-11 with the
necessary heath drivers. I wouldn't mind having a couple of them either.

By the way, they were not the only non-DEC LSI-11 system. The Terak also
was an 11/02 with custom console and disk hardware.
