Well, in that case; I think I shall have to revise my wishlist to be
BA11-S or BA11-N (either way it's getting an H9275!).
Because it's not been painted a proper DEC colour
yet?
Which is naturally "white," or something approximating Pantone Black.
Unless you mean in terms of machine line colour schemes. At which
point the system has to be black, with orange and purple
(approximately) switches.
Hmm... they don't look white to me. Probably
because they're a very
specific DEC shade of grey :-) But not beige, no!
White, grey, off-white, anti-flash white (points to anyone who knows
what that is!)... whatever you would like to call it, it's better then
beige!
Though, I do have to say, I don't mind beige box PCs.
I wasn't thinking quite right there, the QBus
version is the DHZ11
(16-line serial mux), though it's probably fairly uncommon. DHQ11 is
only 8 lines.
I have honestly never heard of the the DHZ11.
They do. Mine do.
Oh? I thought the RKV11 and RLV11 were only capable of working with an
18-bit system. Then again, I doubt I shall be acquiring an RL01/RL02
or an RK05 any time soon.
Though I'd not mind an RL02 or two, and an RLV12 to drive them...
Cheers,
