I just had these questions from a friend.  Could any of you fill me in
on the early history of the LSI-11?  (Yes, I know that LSI=Large Scale
Integration.)

	Can you give me a few sentences on the beginnings of the LSI-11?
	
	I know it was an architectural emulation of the PDP-11.
	Out of CMU?  What did LSI stand for?  (It was the 
	first UNIX machine in Japan, running v6 in 1976.)
