Hi All
Just Last month I picked up a Tracor Northern console which was hooked
up to (I think) either a scanning electron microscope or some kind of EC
design system. I picked it up for $15 as I wanted the 11/73, the DQ616
and the floppy controllers, as well as the syquest MFM removable optical
drive! The rest of the graphics subsystem is sitting in my shed with my
Vision One which was another pdp run graphics subsystem. The Vision One
was use for astronomy I think!
Cheers
Tom

Hi everyone,
Being personally quite interested in DEC's laboratory systems, I
stumbled a few days ago upon some scant details on DEC's nuclear medical
imaging system, the Gamma-11. Apparently this PDP-11 was designed to be
connected to a Gamma Camera, and had a VT11 or VSV11 display system
connected to it. As well, along with it came a modified version of
RT-11.
I was wondering if anyone on the list had one of these machines and knew
what parts made the hardware a Gamma-11, as well if anyone had manuals
online that they might share, as well as potentially the software for
the unit. There's not really much that I can see on Bitsavers, but I
might not have looked hard enough; I found the VSV11 and VT11 option
manuals, but that seemed to be about it.
Cheers,
Phil
