I am the proud owner of a Microvax II (in addition to the 2 at work),
thanks Carlos. I have it safely home, unfortunately it will be idle for
a while as the garage needs to be cleaned, a bunch of construction needs
to be completed before I have time to play (probably January!). Anyway
I now need to find out as much info as I can about the beast. Does anyone
have the link to the part number translation? Where can I get the pin outs
for the card ports? Are there any docs for writing device drivers?
The reason for these questions is that Carlos gave me a rather interesting
board. It contains 1 68 pin DIP with TRW on it (I'm betting it's a Moto
68K chip). It also contains a bunch of TTL, DAC's and what look like op
amps (I have to check the numbers). It also has an unusual RF connector
but has no ROM or RAM. Any idea's? Am I going to need a scratch monkey?
BTW is it easy to design boards for the Microvax. This Analog board seems
really simple. Designing an intelligent SCSI board wouldn't be a lot more
difficult (I didn't say anything about the Vax driver).
