I was emailing back & forth with a person who collects HP mini's and they
mentioned....
Eventually, I'd like to put together a
dual-processor realtime system
similar to the Continental 2005A RTE configuration,
I responded...
I've never even seen any reference
to it. I'm extremely curious as to just what it is. Can you enlighten
me at all about it?
He said...
Continental Airlines contracted HP to build a real-time system around
1970, and HP put together a dual-CPU system similar to a 2000A, with a
2116 and a 2114. HP advertised the hardware configuration itself (not
just the software) as the 2005A Real Time Executive. The Contential
configuration is dual-CPU, but the default 2005A configuration in the HP
catalog has only a 2116 and about half the peripherals of the
Continental configuration.
-------------------------
I have never heard of this Continental 2005A dual processor Real Time
Executive, especially as an official product. Does anyone have more
information?
