Anyone know anything about these?
I've never heard of them and I collect Multibus cards and systems.
I was hoping you'd speak up :)
Is it
an Intel system or does it just use Intel boards? Intel started selling the
boards seaparely specificly so that people could build their own systems
with them.
All Intel - seems to be more commonly known as an Intel 310.

Are you sure that that's a board number? It sounds like it might be the
model number and I've never heard of a board with that number. Intel did
build a computer with that model number.
Yes, I suspect that's overall model number - or maybe a part number for the
case, assuming it was unique to this system.
I probably have docs for some of the cards but for
now you can look up
the cards (and pictures and brief descriptions) here
<http://www.classiccmp.org/hp/multibus/multibus.html>.
Thanks - I was looking for that URL as I remember you posting it a few months ago!
(Incidentally, I can grab pics of my NCR Tower's multibus boards for you
sometime if you want - I think I've got an MSC board here at home, then the
machine is over at Bletchley and has the CPU, HPSIO, Ethernet and HPMSC boards
in it)
Can you send or post a picture of the unit?
see above :)
BTW it most likely has iRMX or iRMX86 installed on
the system and you'll
have to have a paasword to get into it. Speaking from experience :-(
Yep :-( That or Xenix. Not sure how to get around that one - I can get round
passwords on SCSI disks easy enough but I've got no way of hooking that
ST506/412 drive to anything more modern in order to modify it :(
The Intel computers (other than the MDSs) that I
have only have a
plastic Intel badge on them and no other markings except the board list on
the bottom of the case.
Yep, sounds like we have the same thing then...
cheers
