There are 2 related products. The PEP-70 replaces the 11/70 memory boxes (much more
reliable and much less power). It can be used with the original 11/70 cache boards. The
Hypercache replaces the 11/70 cache boards and (I believe) makes the PEP-70 look like
cache. The 11/70 CPU itself is untouched.
All of the 11/70's that I've refurbished, I've put in PEP-70 & hyper cache
boards mainly because I didn't want to deal with the *many* boxes needed to have a
full compliment of memory.

I'd love to be able do that. I've got a BA-11 full of 256K cards

From the PDP-11 Field Guide:
M8728-AA MK11 U 64-Kword 39-bit MOS memory array (11/70, 11/750)
M8728-AA (Also M8728-AB, -AC, -AD, -AE, -AF, -AH, -AK, -AM,
M8728-AA -AN)
M8728-CM MK11 U 16-Kword 39-bit MOS memory array (11/70)
M8728-CM (Also M8728-CN)
As mentioned, the 256Kbyte card works in the PDP-11/70 _and_ the
VAX-11/750, but the VAX only has eight memory slots, so that's a max
of 2MB. ISTR when originally shipped, the 11/750 came with two cards
standard. You had to purchase the next six separately. My 11/750 S/N
BT000354 was originally delivered that way, then upgraded to 2MB
before I first saw it. I added the wire and newer memory controller
board (and fiddled the SID switchpack) to let it take 1MB modules,
boosting it to 8MB.
I probably still have the original memory, in static bags, untouched
since it was removed in the late 1980s. I will be going through that
(indoor) storage this fall and keep an eye out.
The most I would have would be a half-load for an 11/70.

Of the below, the items were in Seattle, WA. The "heavy stuff" is
already gone, but the 11/05, small parts, and pep-70 are confirmed as
still available. Who is in Seattle?

Does anyone know whatever happened to the PEP-70? Both Ian King and I
responded to Jay off-line (and I think Ian even said something on the
list), but neither of us ever got any kind of response.
So, did anyone on the list get this? Did it get Dumpster(TM)'d? Is
it still available?
Just curious.
Thanks,
