I believe PEP did stand for Performance Enhancement
Product.
So it's a third party product? Is it related to that "cache only" memory
upgrade?
There are 2 related products. The PEP-70 replaces the 11/70 memory boxes (much more
reliable and much less power). It can be used with the original 11/70 cache boards. The
Hypercache replaces the 11/70 cache boards and (I believe) makes the PEP-70 look like
cache. The 11/70 CPU itself is untouched.
All of the 11/70's that I've refurbished, I've put in PEP-70 & hyper
cache boards mainly because I didn't want to deal with the *many* boxes needed to have
a full compliment of memory.
I'd love to be able do that. I've got a BA-11 full of 256K cards
(same ones that work in an 11/750).
