Aesquire.178 net.unix-wizrards utzoo!decvax!duke!chico!esquire!psl Fri Dec 25 21:01:55 1981 pdp11 memory misc We've just placed a tentative order with Imperial Technology for a 4Mb semiconductor disk emulator in hopes we can put /tmp or most of the root on it and speed up our system. Have other sites out there had experience with this? DataRam also was very interested, but Imp. Tech. had a cache bus interface (DR didn't) and I didn't want to flush cache every time we used it. Any idea as to how much difference this buys (it's a big difference in $$)? We are also getting more main memory and would like to go to all 256K MK11 boards (yet another vendor). We have about 40 of the 64K boards in old 11/70s and would love to sell them to someone who wants them. One possibility is people with 11/60s since they can't use the bigger board. Does anyone know of any other likely markets? It would probably mean finding 20 11/60 systems with low memory if they're the only possibilities -- good luck!
