Just a shot in the dark, but does anyone here happen to have a collection
of Apollo documentation, specifically for the DSP80A/90?
I don’t, but my understanding is it works more or less the same as any other DN without
graphics. I thought it was closely related to some other DN model but apparently I was
thinking of the DN460 and DSP160. The DSP80 has its own SAU, but the DSP90 is 68020 and
contemporaneous with the DN330 and DN560, so at least somewhat similar to the DN560 with
Multibus cage… but SMD disks. Console would be on SIO; for a later machine you would want
the “pigtail” cable that breaks the SIO connector out into the three separate serial
ports. That info (or info close enough to it?) is (was?) in the Apollo FAQ, or maybe it
was Jim Rees’ introductory doc written for the buyer of a small DOMAIN network. It’s out
there, or at least it was.
Did you have more specific questions you were hoping to get answered? I can’t imagine
answers couldn’t be inferred from observation and the other extant information.
ok
bear.
