Anyone know anything about these? It's a Multibus system, with an 80286 CPU
board inside, Ethernet board, ST506/412 disk controller, floppy, and 40MB hard
disk. Date seems to be 1990, which seems a little late for a '286 system.
Two serial ports on the back, Ethernet, Centronics, and another DB25 (serial
console?). Options on the back for another 19 DB25 ports, 3 larger ports
(poss. external disks?), and a DA15 (another Ethernet card I assume)
No apparent model number for the whole box, but a label on the front just says:
Node name: DCU-NODE
... and a network address.
On the underside there's what seems to be a board/part listing:
PSYP310-90C
iSBC286/12
SCX110
SBX344A
SBC552A
SBC214
40Mb HH Winchester
360Kb HH floppy
****ESYP310BYATLP****
The CPU board has an extra 1MB memory board fitted, a daughterboard which goes
to the possible-console connector, and a battery-backed clock card (luckily
there's minimum damage from battery corrosion)
Google seems spectacularly unhelpful. Anyone know if "DCU" is meaningful, or
if there was any particular target market for these systems? (we need to do
PSU checks etc. and find out if that is a serial console before seeing if
it'll fire up)
Given the port options on the back it was obviously designed to cater for
several users - but if it was just an off the shelf UNIX/other server it seems
strange that the case wasn't given any badge, overall model label etc.
cheers
