Momma told me to never stick my hand into a dogfight, but here goes...

!!!DISCLAIMER!!! I am NOT a DECspert, I don't even play one on TV.

This page http://wombat.doc.ic.ac.uk/foldoc/foldoc.cgi?PDP-11 does make it
sound like there was a LSI-11 model.

This page might (need character sets to see fully)
http://openvms.compaq.co.jp/history/digital/40th/pdph.html

And these.. http://www.parse.com/~pdp8/spares.html
http://www.iana.org/assignments/machine-names 

And yet this listing of DEC models doesn't
http://www.psych.usyd.edu.au/pdp-11/models.html

And here's a photo of what appears to be a DEC OEM product called the LSI-11

If one is mostly familiar with DEC products from Internet archives, I can
definately see why one would think there was an LSI-11 model. I found the
research most confusing. Personally, I have never heard of one.

~ Someone like Dave? I'd call him someone who knows what the 
~ hell he's talking 
~ about.  I've corrected Dave enough times to know that he'll 
~ back down when he 
~ strays into territory where he doesn't know what he's talking 
~ about.  You on

~ 'right' all the 
~ time.

~ Relax, and if you're going to pose as a know-it-all, study 
~ your subject first.
