Also, I saw what I swear must be a quad height pdp8
board. He wasnt
sure what it was, so he wouldnt let me have it yet. He thought it
might be a PDP11 board (did they make quad height PDP11 systems?).
Heres what the board says:
Excelan
Exos 204 s/n 001993
It has a 16 pin male ribbon cable connector on the top of the board,
and strange 2-part female connector in the middle of the board, sort
of like a 10 pin and a 36 pin ribbon female connectors joined together
so that there is a slight gap between them.
some intel chips on the board are dated 1982, the board itself is dated 1984.
Anyone know what this board is?
It is an Excelan network board. I'm not sure off the top of my head whether
it's Q-bus or Unibus, but will do some research. It has drivers under BSD,
I believe.
The 16 pin connector goes to, I believe, an AUI network connector.
