Amonst my junk is a PDP-11/23 with an MS connector on the back prominently
labeled "IMP". Inside is a special 2 board cardset that acts as the
network interface - a 2901 based thing, probably more powerful than the
PDP-11.

I would like to find out more information on this cardset - it is not
from DEC and is probably a low run custom job by some long gone shop.
Sorry, that is just about all I know about it.

One of the more interesting things about the PDP-11/23 is that it was
never used. The little bags of parts and things are still wrapped onto the
chassis, as they were the day they left the factory.
