Does anyone have info on these? I rescued one from U of M and it has become
the prized possession in my collection.
It used to drive some kind of ancient logic analyzer, I can't ID any of the
boards in it, but I'm pretty sure I have a
disk controller board of some kind. Got it mounted in a big old COMTAL
Vision/1 mainframe chasis, right above
my Quadex Q500 CPU and TBU/Winchester disk unit. I'm not sure what condition
the logic is in, it turns on and LED's blink :)
