- In the way out department...
-
- Is there a board that will allow my ibm pc to talk to
- a standard VAX unibus board?
-
- I have an old graphics tube that has a high speed parallel
- DMA port, many times faster than the 19.2 serial port, and it
- works well plugged into a unibus board which plugs into the
- VAX backplane, or an IBM DACU which pretends to be a vax while
- talking to an IBM 3090.
-
- Graphics tube -- unibus -- vax backplane -- vax
-
- Graphics tube -- unibus -- DACU -- IBM 3090 channel attached
-
- I want,
-
- Graphics tube -- unibus -- UNKNOWN -- IBM PC.
-
-
- Any hope?
