Does anyone have any information on a Plessy board
model number PM DCV51?
It appears to be a disk controller one 34 pin connector and four 20 pin
connectors. It has plastic handles on the ends like a QBUS board. (I
suppose it could also be a quad wide unibus board but I don't think so.)
34 and 20...sounds kinda like an MFM disk interface, or perhaps ESDI?
There is a NEC D7261AD chip on the top, an uncovered
EPROM (worrisome),
several PALs and a large chip (68pin DIP) labelled AM29x305
Just thinking aloud here, but that AMD chip sounds like a second-sourced
8X305 by its number and physical description. I didn't know they did anything
from that family. Those are neat processors...and
pretty much the predecessors
of today's PIC family. Neat!
