Hi.
I got a "Tektronix 8560 Multi-User Software Development Unit" together
with a Tektronix 8540 in system 68k CPU emulator. The 8560 is based on
the DEC M8186 PDP-11/23 CPU module but that card is the one and only DEC
part in the machine. Everything else is from Tektronix. There is a 35 MB
8" disk and a 8" floppy in the 8560 and it runs some flavor of UNIX
called TNIX. I am trying to break into it currently, as I have no
passwords. I can't get it to single user mode and I have no distribution
media nor no stand alone tools.=20
Has someone heared from this machine bevore?
Yes, I have one. The hard disk is a Micropolis 1200 series unit, with the
Micropolis controller board on top. The interface to the Q-bus board in
the main backplane is a fairly simple 8 bit data bus + control lines.
The backplane bus is similar to Q-bus, although not the standard pinouts
or form factor (other then the 11/23 CPUI card at one side).
Has someone distribution media or stand alone tools?
I might have the installation floppies, but don't expect me to find them
any time soon!
