Anyone have any documentation on a QED 993 processor?
From what I've
been able to find on the 'net (which is not much) it's a 3rd-party,
Qbus-based, quad-width PDP-11 upgrade, which has 4MB of RAM onboard
and is supposedly faster than 11/93.
I just took a gamble on one (the seller icsscorp on eBay -- the same
seller who had the CMD SCSI boards a week or so back -- has been
auctioning a bunch of these off one by one) and I'm hoping to put it
in my 11/73. It'd be nice to have some official documentation.
Does anyone have a contact name, perhaps a contact e-mail
address of phone number?
Everything suggests that icsscorp is in Canada. So I would
not need to clear customs, perhaps even get local pickup
if they are in Toronto or Calgary.
Have anyone an idea of how much faster the QED 993
is compared to the PDP-11/93? I heard *3 at one
point, but was never able to confirm.
