   You rembembered correctly again.As a side note PDP stands for:   
      
    "Programmed Data Processor"   
      
   Here is some info on the PDP-11   
      
   PDP-11 (Programmed Data Processor-11) is one of the most famous   
   computers in computing history, one of a series manufactured by Digital   
   Equipment Corporation ( DEC ) from the early 1960s through the   
   mid-1990s. PDP-11, which was sold in 1970 for $10,800, was the only   
   16-bit computer ever made by the company.   
      
   The PDP-11 had a number of other features that distinguished it from   
   most of its contemporaries, including multiple (eight) register s;   
   multiple addressing mode s; a hardware stack ; processor error trap s;   
   and a separate communications path for memory and peripherals (called   
   the UNIBUS ) that could move data independently of the processor. Many   
   early developers and users of the UNIX operating system ran it on the   
   PDP-11 after the original Multics system was no longer available.
