I used battery-backed SRAM in the Unibus RAM card I
prototyped a while
back (and just recently got working and have been finishing the XMOS
firmware for).
UNIBUS RAM cards? Neato-keeno!! When will they be available, and how do I
order some? :-)
BTW, what's an 'XMOS'? Google didn't enlighten me...

As much as I would like one (or two), what's the
actual market for such
a thing?
Oh, probably almost as large as all the other custom UNIBUS/PDP-11 cards
people are building these days... :-)
I'd rather have a faster machine while I'm
using it.
Somehow, I'm thinking that if it's speed we're after, a hardware PDP-11
isn't
where I'd turn... :-)
