Two additions to make the list officially complete:

QBUS: 11/93
Unibus: 11/94

The last PDP-11s by DEC.

Then you have the never-11s. (See the FAQ.)

They are also normally just about the same machine as the next number in
line, but for OEM markets.

11/05 - 11/10
11/15 - 11/20
11/35 - 11/40

Well, as far as I know, all of the already have switching supplies...
Possibly not the 11/15 and 11/20, but if anyone has one of those, and
makes such a modification, I *will* brand him as an heretic. :-)
