PDP-11 will always be my favorite assembler, there is an octal dump for a reason and that reason is the PDP-11. Or maybe PDPs in general. I had a TA in Uni that could read octal like it was PDP assembler.

Those are so much fun. I had mine running 6th Ed at the Vintage Computer Festival Southeast last spring in Atlanta. A serious blast from the past.

I keep a VT420 on my desk with an LK421 (the "Unix" keyboard), connected to my workstation (now via a USB serial adapter). I just popped the keyboard and it is, indeed, an RJ11 for the keyboard. Serial is MMJ, which connects to an MMJ<->DB9 converter which connects to a mini null-modem to the USB adapter.

Lego Mindstorms use it also as a way to try to keep people from by options from other folks.
