Does anyone have one of these or is anyone familar with them? I just
picked one up last week. I dug through my odds and ends and found a couple
of manuals for it and several boxs of TekDOS operating system disks with
the Z-80 assembler and software. I scanned a picture of the system from
one of the manuals at
"http://www.intellistar.net/~rigdonj/tek/tek8002.jpg". The two pieces that
I have are shown at the top right.

Tony,
No that's a completely different thing. I have one of those too but
take a look at "http://www.intellistar.net/~rigdonj/tek/tek8002.htm".

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.
The other box can contain a variety of options -- EPROM programmer,
in-circuit emulator(s), logic analyser, and so on. The 2 units communicate
by a high speed (for the time) serial link.
TekDOS is (IIRC) a much hacked RT11. There's also TNIX (which needs the
11/23 CPU and maybe a hard disk) which is a hacked Unix.
