Does anyone
have one of these or is anyone familar with them? I just
I have something similar.
The box with the floppy drive(s) (or maybe a Micropolis 1200 hard disk in
place of one of the floppies) is essentially a PDP11. There's a real DEC
CPU card (normally an PDP11/03, sometimes an 11/23) CPU card in there,
along with special Tektronix cards containing RAM, boot ROMs, disk
controller, serial ports, etc. The backplane has one normal DEC Q-bus
slot for the CPU and some Tektronix slots for the other cards.

I have to take a look at the CPU on this one but I'm pretty sure that
these don't use the DEC CPU. The model that uses the DEC CPU is a Tek 8560
or somrthing like that. I have one of them too but It's not here so I can't
check the model number.
