I need to update my link for the old ClassicCmp archive that Kevan
Heydon had on his site. I remember there being some talk about moving
this but I guess I failed to update my link.
If someone could e-mail it to me at sellam(a)vintage.org I'd appreciate it
very much.

Indeed you can. You can order the "i960 Microprocessor Electronic Library"
CD-ROM from Intel's literature centre. The order number is 272743-002. Or look
on the Intel web site.

Also the same size and likely the same appearance.

It is big, it is heavy, it is blue, but it isn't a computer. It's a
PU (Physical Unit) Type 4 as seen from an SNA network standpoint, and is
more commonly known as an FEP (Front End Processor) - Think of it as the
I/O interface for a mainframe.
This is the thing that a 3274 would talk to - that box we were discussing
here a few days ago. The CPU is a PU Type 5, the 37x5 is the PU Type 4,
the 3274 is a PU Type 2 and they all coexist happily in their own roles
on an SNA network. Each PU Type can initiate or resond to certain types
of network traffic; it's very hierarchical and structured.

Close Joe, It's not a 6502, it is a 6805 packeged like an Atari 2600
cartridge that's labled" HDS-200 Program Cartridge M6805, R2, U2, R3, U3"

National did the BLC80xx series if memory serves, decent intel compatable
multibus. Slightly surprized to see a ISBC80/20 cpu as they nominally had
National cards. I think I have the manual for the BLC80204 8080 card that
was the national equivelent of the ISBC8020.

My Sparcstation 330 has 24ea 30-pin simms onboard. Removing them was a
problem for me when I was diagnosing bad ram. I found that a 7.65x54mm
cartridge for my 100+ year old Argentine Mauser rifle was the perfect
tool for working with this type of simm socket.
I suspect any full-metal-jacket round with a "Spitzer"-type nose
(pointy) will work such as 7.62x39 Warsaw Pact or 5.56 Nato will work
just as well or better.
The trick is to start with the 'lowest' simm - the one that is 'under'
all the others. Insert the nose of the round into the hole on one side
of the simm, press down to disengage the clip on the socket and lever
against the simm 'below' the one you are removing. The last simm is
more difficult because there is no simm 'beneath' it to lever against
but the tool is still helpful. Especially if your video card is like
mine, piggybacked onto the motherboard. I lever against it for the last
simm.
The copper jacket is soft and will scratch but does not appear to shed
material which is good because copper is conductive.... These minor
scratches will affect accuracy when the round is fired so don't use this
'tool' as ammunition in a competition!
Yes. I drew a five-shot, one-hole group at 110yards with my Winchester
30-30 rifle over open-sites one day. Can hit a quarter at 300yd with a
scope.....
As with all explosives, due care is indicated.....

The RM-665 was an OEM Intel Multibus 1 box from the early 80s. It sounds like
you have a process controller of some sort. The Intel 80/20 is an 8080 Single
Board Computer. This is the type of system built into industrial systems.

These three chips comprise the Mot. 88000 processor at 25 Mhz.
