I have a
DEC microvax 1000 with
Matrox QG-640 card (1985). Does anyone know what matching monitor it would work with? I
tried Matrox but no luck. VGA came out around 1987. Could this be a EGA card? Does G-640
means monochrom 640 resolution? I googled internet and I see QRGB card. Analog VGA
graphics card?
thanks

What on earth is a MicroVAX 1000? Sounds like a very strange beast
you have there. Good luck, it's probably some sort of hi-res card.

You got yourself a realtime Vax. The cpu is similar to a Microvax II,
but it lacks a level of memory management. It cannot run VMS. One
usually connects a VT terminal to it. Mind that the DB-9 connectors are
wired differently from those on a PC.

My application needs real time vax ( I don't know why). I am looking for
another microvax 1000.
Would all 630QY or 630QZ (microvax II) have RTvax?

The KA630 (MV II CPU) has the usual VAX MMU. AFAIK you need a KA620 CPU:
M7478 KA620 Q RTVAX, 1 Mbyte, FP, TPU clock, boot/diag ROM
(From Megans pdp11-field-guide.txt)
IIRC 630QY or 630QZ referes to a more or less complete QBus machine.
KA620 or KA630 refer to the QBus CPU cards. So you may have a MV II
enclosure that is equipped with a KA620 (RTVAX CPU) instead a KA630 (MV
II CPU). Chek the Mxxxx number on your CPU card.

KA620 or KA630 [...]
In case anyone cares: the difference between the KA620 and the KA630
(well, the technical difference, at least) is that on the KA630, P0 and
P1 page tables live in system virtual space, as on most VAXen; on the
KA620, P0 and P1 page tables live in physical space.
I once wrote a (micro)kernel to run on a KA620....

Is it the one with just a phono socket. I think this just connects to
a video monitor. Should work if you plug in to your tv. If it's the
one I'm thinking of it is monochrome.
