Subject: BA11V From: ard at p850ug1.demon.co.uk (Tony Duell) Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2007 23:00:54 +0100 (BST) To: cctalk at classiccmp.org As an aside, there was a thing in the UK called a 'York box' (I believe it was developed at the University of York) to link machines to the X25-based Janet (Joint Academic NETwork). It consisted of a BA11V box containing an SBC21 (Falcon) CPU, a 32KW RAM card, a RRV11 (parallel port) and a DPV11 (sync serial port). The DPV11 talked to the X25 network, the host system was connected either using the DRV11 (16 bit parallel interface) or using one of the asynchrononous serial interfaces on the SBC21. I belive it was used with VAX and certainly PERQ hosts (I think I have the EPRQ software for it somewhere, I do have a York box in the pile...)
