Hi All:
I'm in Ottawa, and on my obligatory trip to the computer salvage place,
picked up an M8190 Unibus 11/84 card.
It's a 4-finger LSI board, connectors for console and likely a cabinet kit
of some sort.
I'd like to try this board, my questions are:
1. Any other support boards needed, or will this board run standalone,
presuming available RAM?
2. What kind of backplane is required? I have an 11/45 backplane but this
wouldn't do because of the extensive point-to-point wiring for the CPU
cards, etc.
3. Any way to run this is the "straight through" section of the Unibus
that exists in the high slot numbers of older Unibus' like the 11/45?
4. Is anybody else using this card successfully?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

Hi:
I assume that you mean it's a Unibus version of the 11/73. I can't imagine
that it would be usable in a Q bus backplane. The pinouts are quite
different!

Actually, even though it came out of a Unibus machine, it's a Qbus CPU
card.

No, I meant exactly what I said. The M8190 is a Qbus card, even when it is
in a Unibus-based 11/84.
