I have just received an interesting QBUS card from Germany after
an EBAY auction. It is a quad card that is a MSCP RAM-disk
(16MB), which additionally gives 4MB of QBUS Memory (well,
it could scarcely give any more, since that's all Q-22 can
address).

This beastie is the RDC-16 from See First Technology, and came
with a manual dated May 1988. According to this document, this
card can have its capacity extended with up to two RDE-32 cards
(you guessed it - 32MB each), with these cards being connected
in a similar way to LMI - via a ribbon cable. So, if anyone
happens to have a RDE-32 just kicking around then I'm looking
for a couple...

This card is even bootable, with the correct jumper settings,
although the talk is of one extension board and MicroVMS:- I
somehow doubt that OVMS 7.2 would fit too well!

Anyway, the card is alive and well in the MVIII.

As an aside. does anyone know what processors the Clearpoint
Research DCME M30/16MB cards work with?

    Cheers,
