PDP-11/35 & 16K Memory Strategy

This internal 1972 memorandum outlines the product release and marketing strategy for the PDP-11/35 and new 16K memory components. The strategy for the PDP-11/35 involves keeping the release private until WESCON (August 1973), with initial customer introductions between January and March 1973, positioning it as an OEM-only machine that leverages the 11/40 CPU and memory for competitive technical advantages. Additionally, the document outlines a plan for new 16K memory modules, recommending they not be introduced to customers immediately, but instead be used in shipments to maximize profit while managing manufacturing limitations regarding backplanes and power supply modules.
