I was curious about that... specifically, I caught
that there's a
DHU/DHV-compatibility setting, but I was curious how far back there's
support for this board. I'm sure it'll work with modernish versions
of VMS, but what about PDP-11 operating systems? (most specifically,
I'd be thinking of RSTS and 2BSD). Anyone have any experience with
that? (My own is with older products on older machines, but except
for DZ11s and DLJ11Js, I think some of the older multi-serial
interfaces are less easy to find these days).
Wasn't the CXY08-M used in the DECserver 550 (or whatever it was called)? I
don't know if the OS's you mention support the board, but the DECserver that
used these had PDP-11/53 CPU's in them. I had a couple of the DECserver's,
but sadly had to dump them years ago. I kept a few of Serial boards and
cables, along with the other boards.
