Good one! I didn't see that coming. :-)

I always found it amusing that Data General's computers were
named after transitory phenomena: Nova, Supernova, Eclipse.
Of course, in the grand scale of things, we all are. :-(

All,
A few months ago, I mentioned one of my suppliers had Belden 89880 thicknet
Ethernet cable. Well, last week I finally made it down to his warehouse and
picked it up! The final bits for a test segment came in today, so I set up
a little link between my SPARCstation 10 and DEChub 90:

Anyone interested in cable can email me directly (please change the subject
line, it'll get binned into my cctalk folder otherwise). I can provide any
level of "kit" from just the cable to fully ready to go. I do have a very
few NOS Cabletron ST-500-01 transceiver/non-intrusive tap kits as well.
Thanks,
Jonathan

I have bought from this seller before (very happy with the results), but am
not otherwise affiliated.
The -11/04 is a nice UNIBUS starter/test machine (my UNIBUS board debug
machine is an -11/04). The CPU is a single (hex) board, and it's really simple
and straightforward - very easy to work on and fix. (You don't even need to
put it on an extender card! :-)
Depending on the backplane that's in the machine, it might be super-easy to
upgrade to an -11/34 (if it's a DD11-P, as many /04's are, just pull the CPU
card and plug in a set of /34 boards).
Not sure what's up with the M105/M7821; they aren't standalone cards, but go
with some other card (they are addressing and interrupt/vector
functionality). No idea what it was, though...
