There are at least 2 other CTI bus cards out there. One is the console interface for the VAXen that used
the Pro as the
console. If I could work out how to drive it it might actually be useful
as it seems to contain a couple of serial ports and a GPIB interface.
Really?!? I used to have one (my Pro380 was a console to an 8530). I
have not seen it in many years. Wish I had it when I was at Lucent as
a consultant. They had one die and had to have one same-day shipped
from a digital broker - $150 for the card, $200 for
shipping. I did go
home to look for mine - probably could have gotten the $150 and
maybe
a little for delivery. :-(
I had no idea they were so neat. By "seems to contain..." do you mean
that there's a couple of 2661s (or some other UART) and some sort of
GPIB chip? (68488? There was a National Semi one, too, ISTR).
The other (which I am told is difficult to find) is
the Ethernet card.
The elusive DECNA...
