If you've got a driver we can put someplace I'll be glad to add the TC11/TU56 to the Unibus VAX simulators...

I saw a TU56 running on a VAX-11/780 at the 10th VMS anniversary celebration at the 1987 Fall DECUS symposium in Anaheim. It was done by Andy Goldstein, who kindly sent me a copy of the driver he wrote for it. My intent was to hook my TC11/TU56 via an ABLE Q-Bus-to-Unibus converter to my MicroVAX-II, but I never got around to it. I still have all the stuff, so I might yet get around to doing it. Just because it *can* be done. :-) Alan Frisbie _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list Simh@trailing-edge.com http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list Simh@trailing-edge.com http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
