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.
