It would be amazing at that - a uVAX II memory board
for a now no longer
available new computer (I hear that no more new VAXs are being sold whereas
it is still possible to buy a new PDP-11) being converted since there are so
many available for use as a RAM disk for the older PDP-11.
Actually you've got me thinking there. Considering that RAM is dirt cheap
these days. I'm wondering what it would take to build a RL02 drive that is
actually a RAM disk (of course you'd be able to fit several disks on one
stick of RAM), and what kind of performance you'd get. Off course I'm not a
hardware type, so I don't know how hard that would be.
Just thought that someone might have an old uVAX I
with a 4 MByte memory
and I could probably toss in a uVAX II CPU as well. I probably have a better
chance of winning a lottery.
Aren't the 4MB MicroVAX I boards the same as a 4MB MicroVAX II board? I've
never even seen a MicroVAX I, so I really don't have a clue on this.
