Hi.

I've picked up a Data General Aviion 310CD and was informed it can use a
straight AT keyboard. I am skeptical, as the keyboard port is a DIN8.

Also, the colour video output is on 3 BNC connectors. Can I use 3 segments
of ethernet coax to carry the video signal or is the impedance wrong?

I'm sure I'll have more questions later, but this'll do for now.

Actually, I've had a hard time locating info on this machine. I understand
it uses a Motorola 88k processor at 20 MHz, but I don't know which one. I
looked inside and found three chips it could be.. an 88100 (88010?) and
two 88200 (88020?)s. I assume the single chip is the CPU but then what
are the other two?

I would be really surprised if this were a multiprocessing box.

ok
