I'll be in Orlando in about a month. Where is it?
Yes, it's an I/O processor. No, I didn't get
one but I did find a quick
reference card for one at a local surplus place and I was wondering exactly
what it was. A Google search didn'turn up much except that they're used in
a lot of the airport approach control systems and a lot of people are
raising cane about how antiquated they are. FWIW The surplus outfit where I
found the card gets a lot of stuff from the local Lockheed Martin plant so
it's very possible that they have a 8303 in their most recent load. If
anyone is in the area (Orlando) and wants to go look I'll give you
directions of how to get to the place.
