I acquired a DECserver 550 for the KDJ11-SD in it, and
now I have a pile
of these CXY08-M boards. It is an 8-line multiplexed serial I/O board,
with modem control. Are these good for anything besides building a
DECserver? Will I be able to find an RT-11 or UNIX driver for it? Or
maybe, from the CPU side, it might look enough like another DEC serial
board that it will work with an existing driver.
I don't know about third-party drivers, but RT-11 V5.6 and later
have latent support for the CXY08 boards... they are programmed
just like DHV/DHQ. They look nothing like a DL[V]...
