I might mention there are some Tektronix to DEC boards, maybe Unibus on
ebay if anyone has specialized Tek hardware that could be run by DEC.
I don't know any more than that, but am curious if anyone has any ideas
about what devices Tektronix had with DEC PDP11s integrated in.
When I was first in school, there was a large system with what I'd guess
was a larger PDP11 system (we had PDP 11/05 demos on another track to
give time frame, 71-72).
The system Tektronix had was essentially what we'd call a sampling scope
now with an elaborate tube to digitize samples, and the PDP 11 analyzing
them. Don't think it was ever a product, but it was massive, several
bays. Out local EE and IEEE groups arranged for the demo to stop at our
school.
I believe there were FlipChip type boards listed, but am not seeing them
right now. Boards below are clearly not for DEC boxes.
thanks
