Hmm... 2 Daughterboards at 2MB each? A full 22-bit boat of RAM?
Sweet! I have more than one Pro - I started upgrading one with
256kbit DRAMs. I also had a PSU smoke on my Pro380 and got a
replacement but haven't installed it yet. I'm already in "repair all
the PDP-11s" mode, so I'll add it to the stack. Someday, I'll get
2BSD up on at least one of them (for now, I have RT-11 and Venix)
