1. go to the 11/73 (bugs still in the 11/53) 2. if the backplane is not VERY old, string the extra four lines is very simple. 3. dump the dlv11-j's since A. they only do single character i/o B. they are only good at 1200 baud sustained C. they improperly pass bus signals D. generally are disgusting (direct quote from a DEC hardware developer) 4. add more memory and a dhv11 (or third party equivalent) the above are objective expansions...the 5th suggestions is from a personal point of view: 5. upgrade to RSX-11M-Plus to take advantage of all the new hardware (i/d space and supervisor mode.....as well as a MUCH much better terminal driver...) -ed cetron Center for Engineering Design 3168 MEB, Univ. of Utah
