Ok all you ex-aerospace contractor types out there, here is a challenge for
you.
My new VAX came from an Aerospace contractor and had a Q-bus board in it
from "K Systems Inc" (the parent company of
Kaiser's gov't contractor
business. according to Hoovers.com)
The board is dual width Q-bus marked "K Systems" "AITG" "Rev
C"
On board it has a Z80B, Z80BPIO, AM9513 (floating point?) MK6116 (2K RAM),
2764 EPROM marked 35112A0B (c) 1993 KSI, and a part marked MK4501N-12 (what
ever that is). Then it has a bunch of analog circuitry, four rotatable
switches (set to 0,0,0,0), 7 thinline coaxial connectors, an LED, a 20 pin
(10 x 2) connector, standard Q-bus decode logic with what looks like a
bunch of dip switches to set the CSR and what looks like a temperature
compenstated and potted crystal oscillator.
I'm guessing its some sort of time base generator. I'm sure 'sho dev'
won't
know what the heck it is ! :-)
