James may have done something on this. I’m not sure.
I do know that the CMU GDP did not have any VLSI (or LSI) in it. It was pretty straight
SSI and MSI TTL from what I can recall with a bunch of custom built DACs. The GDP
was connected to the UNIBUS but it was a separate box (1U/2U) from the 11/20.
