I am pretty
sure some commercial host itnerfaces worked that way. I never
saw a schematic of the Q-bus card we had at Bristol, and I wasn't left
alone with it for long enough to reverse-engineer it :-). But IIRC it
contaisn a T2, some EPROMs and some glue logic (and probably the normal
Qbus interace chips, etc). =A0I am pretty sure there was no C011 or C012 =
on
there.
If you are referring to the card that I think you are, I grabbed this a couple of years ago when the Physics Dept was
throwing out a load of
CAMAC and VME stuff. As it seemed I would never really get around to
aqcuriing any transputer hardware I passed it on to the National
Museum of Computing before I moved back to Australia.
Pity it didn't get to somebody who had a microVAX and some transputer
stuff :-( I doubt the NoMC will make much of it...
