Who knows what processor/architecture an HSC90 is? Is it a PDP-11?
What's it's bus? Sounds like it doesn't mix with UNIBUS or Q-BUS
cards at least not looking at the card numbers "Lxxxx" (HSC) vs.
"Mxxxx" (UNIBUS/Q-BUS).
The reason I'm asking is that I'm looking for the most multi-
use of my big-iron hardware that takes up so much space. I believe
I will be able to run the console computer of my future 11/78x
as a PDP-11. Would be nice if this is possible with the HSC90
as well. I would like to:
- provide a PDP-11/RSX-11 environment for my neighbor to play
with without getting a dedicated PDP-11. Probably I can do that
in the future with the LSI-11 of the VAX 11/78x that hopefully
some day will decorate my garage.
- try running 2.9 BSD on a PDP-11. Not knowing much about
2.x BSD, I could imagine making the HSC90 into a UNIX-based
file server or something.
regards,
