This handbook provides detailed information for the LSI-11 family of microcomputers. It covers the following main sections:
- Section I: LSI-11 Family Hardware: Specifications, system components (modules, backplanes, expansion boxes), bus structure, and installation.
- Section II: Operation: Console ODT commands, paper tape system operation, and floppy disk-based system operation (RXV11).
- Section III: Processor: Addressing modes, instruction sets, and programming techniques.
- Section IV: System Software: Operating systems (RT-11, RSX-11S), languages (MACRO, FORTRAN, BASIC), and system utilities.
- Section V: DEC Services: Education, user society (DECUS), and maintenance services.
The manual is intended to assist system designers and users in configuring and installing LSI-11 based systems, such as the PDP-11/03 and PDP-11V03.
