John,
Its SMD, I have an Emulex Qbus card for it.
Hey, I think I'm looking for an SMD QBUS card for use in one of my VAX/
PDP-11 systems. I've got a CDC 9448 drive that I'd love to get hooked up
to *something*. I've got some cash to offer, or other DEC/IBM/Sun parts/
machines available for trade.
Next on the list. I've just recently got a VAXstation 3520 from someone
else at Purdue. I've taken it apart, looked at the maintenance manuals,
and boards, and made some guesses. Even though it claims to only support
two cpu boards (4 CVAX CPUs), it looks very likely that the hardware at
least will work with up to (at most) 5 boards/10 CPUs. I'm working on
trying to find more CPU boards to test this idea out at the moment, and
am interested in borrowing or buying more CPU boards or VAXstation
3520/2540s. If you don't want to sell the thing, I'd be interested in
just borrowing the CPU module for a week or two to test out software/
firmware support. Again, I've got things I can trade for this if
desired.
Also, if anyone has any memory boards they'd like to sell/trade, that'd be
nice. I'm not sure 16MB will be enough for a Multiprocessor VAX. : )
As far as trades go, ask me if I have what you want, I've got a bunch of
stuff that is taking up too much space right now... Mostly IBM/DEC/Sun
(Sparc 32) things.
