I sent a bit of this thread along to Ken Omohundro who
founded Able ..
If he sends anything else along, I'll get it to somewhere people can
find out about it.
Neat! Thanks!
I probably have data sheets archived and I will scan
them as a PDF file
Those would be great - I hope they include enough detail to explain how the
ENABLE hooked up the various busses, cache, etc! I live in hope that someone
finds a manual, because that may be the only way these questions get answered.
Also, I wonder if the product called the "ENABLE/34" (per various brochures,
Muuss' email, etc) and the "ENABLE" we ran in the 11/45 were actually the
same
thing, and they had just changed the name, perhaps because people might have
assumed, from the "ENABLE/34" name, that it was only for /34's, when in
fact
it could run in any UNIBUS machine? The name change may have opened up a
bigger market for them. Anyway, another mystery about these things!

Based on the product you talk about, I would guess it just appeared as
normal memory, with additional mapping to a larger memory space done in
that box. I think such a product would be really easy to make.

The brochures that mentions the Enable/34 that I put in links to said it
was for the 11/34, 11/45 and 11/60.
If this was the same product as the one you had called "Enable" is
another question. Your description does not at all match the thing I was
running in an 11/34.
