Software Results made two DMA Unibus boards - one was an excessively
elaborate design, the other simpler, but both used DEC DC013s and a wad of
8461 chips. I don't mind sharing the designs, but they are c. 1982 and
depend on a lot of PALs to do their job. They are both non-trivial.
The problem, of course, is that I won't have access to the prints for a
year. A from-scratch design might make more sense than basing anything
off a COMBOARD.
