Hi Tony,
Yes, from what I've been able to glance from the manuals, the P859 is the
same as the P854, but build on large 19" rack sized cards (M-type cards)
rather than double eurocards (E-type cards)
(containg the
core and drivers spearately fitted i nthe machine, it's not on
boards in the main crdcage. Is it possible you've missed the core in your
856?
No, there's no space for it to be anywhere else but in the main cardcage.
The rest of the box is occupied by the power supplies. Deeper inspection has
revealed that this system also doesn't have a CPU fitted. I do have spare
cpu's though, and it looks like they might be able to use MOS memory, too.
I/O bords, ADCs, DACs, etc.
Turns out to be an expansion chassis that gives you space for 6 more cards.
Cheers,
Camiel
- 3 x P859
(one looks like the board set is incomplete)
Am I right in thinking that his is
related to the P854? - 1 x
P856/P857? (no type label, marked "defect" in black marker on
top) Aren't these supposed to have core memory? No core found inside.
I
thought so. Maybe that's why it's defective :-(
FWIW, the P850 does use core memeory, but there are memory modules - 1 x card
cage with 6 cards. No idea what this is yet.
Maybe soem specail I/O unig. Philips
