Ah, another keyword to look for.
I have one and last I tried it it was operational I
also have a minor chunk
of code to do
some music under RT11. Currently deeply buried and not in my easy search
path.
Is both code and hardware burried? Preserving the software for reference
might be valuable should I ever find the hardware.
It was as believed at the time I worked for DEC that
it was developed
internally for
things like DECworld. Its never been clear if it was for QBUS PDP-11 use
or MicroVAX.
I see, uhm.. what is/was DECworld?
The number on the handle was the handle part number
and not relevant to any
product.
Ah, that explains the odd format (not an M-number).
The AY-3 are the sound generator chips as it does two
channels of sound.
The EY-0105e may be a document (spec or drawing).
It certainly looks like a DEC document numbering scheme. In the ebay
auction it was decsribed a an "A6006 Analog output board". I think that
is something entirely different, or is it related?
Thank you for shedding some light on it.
