I also have a 'York Box'. This is another bit
of UK network history. It's
actually a BAl11-V (the small DEC Q-bux box) containing an SBC21 (single
board computer), a 32KW memory board, a DPV11 (sync serial port) and a
DRV11 (parallel port). It was used to conenct hosts that didn't directly
support X25 to JANET. The host connected either via the parallel
interface or via one of the async ports on the SBC21, the X25 link went
to the DPV11.
My first 11/23 was rather like that -- it came from ERCC and had an
11/23, DPV11, DLV11J, BDV11 and some memory.
