Sometime in the future, I wouldn't mind trying to
put an 11/782
together. Anyone know where I might be able to find some information
about the interconnect hardware?
As I've been told by the hardware designer of the dual-vax, the 11/782
was a retarded design. Basically, just a small amount of dual-ported
memory stuck between two independent CPUs. The Purdue-designed dual-vax
is a lot more useful machine.
