Hi folks,
Been rummaging in the garage for stuff I'll be exhibiting in the UK in July
and found this:
http://www.binarydinosaurs.co.uk/LSI1123.JPG
It's a 4-slot cage containing:
M7270 11/03 CPU
M7944 4K RAM (x2)
M8027 LP11
There's a fault label on the M8027 saying it occasionally drops characters.
Question is, anyone know what it was out of?
Cheers!

I have several like these that - as far as I know - came out of oem
equipment. In my case, voluntary milking systems.

Ah right, so a sort-of-embedded PDP system then. I'll probably take it along
just to show kids what 4 whole kilobytes of RAM looked like back then...

Hi Dave,
Stratford-upon-Avon, July 2nd. It's the Recursion Computer Science Fair (
http://www.recursioncomputerfair.co.uk). Mostly gaming/BASIC machines but
I'll be taking some goodies too.

I believe these were made for the OEM market, I clearly remember ads for
this type of backplane in old electronics magazines, where the ad did
show a hand holding it in the air with some text next to it.
I have a similar backplane, having 8 slots.
Regards,
Ed

When I worked on DEC gear we used a few 4-slot backplanes from VT130
to use in suitcase portable test units, so could be this.

This was my first thought but the VT103 (I assume you meant this) has a
double-height card cage in it. The VT103 is another of my
