My trilogy on the PDP-11 concludes with a look at the far flung places this computer can take us. In this episode we look at some issues with claims of the PDP-11's linage, smuggling, Hungarian-made microcode, and much more. Along the way we answer the question: if the PDP-11 was such a good design then where was it during the home computing boom of the 80s?
