I thought the 11/45 was the second PDP-11 (and the first microcoded
one). The 11/20 was the first and the *very* early ones just said
PDP-11. When the 11/45 was introduced, it was re-named the 11/20. The
11/15 is an OEM version of the 11/20. Just like the 11/05 is the OEM
version of the 11/10.

I'm note sure which CPU has more cards, the 11/20 or the 11/45. :-) The
11/20 has *alot* of flip chips. That's what you get when you just use
SSI TTL. The 11/45 atleast used MSI.
