so nice!).
Wow...That's one of the very few Handbooks that I don't have. That's
an excellent score.
3) An MDB systems "MDB-DR11C". What exactly
is this? Is it the same as a
DEC DR11C? What was it commonly used for? Also in the box was an ACT
"10015000" which I'm guessing may be a 4-slu card?
Yes the MDB board is a DR11C-compatible parallel I/O interface. I've
seen it used for lots of different things, mainly process control and
stimulus/response testing. For a long time now I've wanted to write
NetBSD drivers for those boards, to implement ioctl() calls for frobbing
generic digital bits.
As for the ACT board...got pics?
