Has anyone had experience with any 8386 boards which plug into vax computers.
I think a company called "clearpoint" located in NJ or CA may sell such a
product. At one point another company called "bridge" had a board for
z-80 and/or 8088 board.
My questions are:
1) does it impact the performance of the vax system?
2) is main memory shared or is there memory on board?
3) is there one board per user or can only 1 user use msdos applications at a
time?
4) Does it use unibus, massbuss, SI bus or Q-bus?
5) How "compatible" is it with various software for the pc (screen handling?)
Any experiences will be appreciated.
Please e-mail as I do not always get to these groups. Thanks in advance.
