pep-70 upgrade card set for 11/70
What is
a PEP?
/P
That is a replacement cardset (4 or 5 cards) which you put into the
backplane of an 11/70 replacing the original 11/70 cpu boards.
I believe PEP did stand for Performance Enhancement Product.
So it's a third party product? Is it related to that "cache only" memory
upgrade?
There are 2 related products. The PEP-70 replaces the 11/70 memory boxes (much more
reliable and much less power). It can be used with the original 11/70 cache boards. The
Hypercache replaces the 11/70 cache boards and (I believe) makes the PEP-70 look like
cache. The 11/70 CPU itself is untouched.
All of the 11/70's that I've refurbished, I've put in PEP-70 & hyper cache
boards mainly because I didn't want to deal with the *many* boxes needed to have a
full compliment of memory.
