- The LINC, LINC-8, and PDP-12 come with speaker and volume control standard.
-
- The Lab-series of modules for the 8/e and -11 came with a mounted speaker
- but I'm not sure of the interface officially associated there with. (I
- have one that was mounted in the lab mounting panel I got from a used
- computer dealer; not enough of the other panelettes were present to
- determine the original system which could have been either or perhaps
- something else? The cable for the speaker is the same connector as the
- PDP-12's scope if that helps. I think it's an Amphenol 57-series like a
- Centronics 36-pin connector, only with less pins (25?).)
