pdp8/a boards - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

5 Oct 1999

I used to work for VG and I think I have some of the Docs on the PDP8 series of
boards.  I still support the PDP11 series VG systems and last week upgraded 2
sites to RSX11M+ 4.6 for Y2K issues.  I think I still have a complete "digital
scanner" that provided the A/D and scan start from that system.

Let me know what the 3 digit VG # is and I will see what I can dig up.  They
were the acq and control for their magnet sector Mass Spectrometers

 Ok, is there some trick to identifing pdp8/a quad
height boards? Or maybe
most of these boards are not standard DEC issue... I have a lot of boards
that have wierd markings on the green or grey handles, all have VG DS on
two sets of handles, but one of those is covered with a round sticker with
a 3 digit number on it... very strange...
