NuPDPq 4200 System
Product Description
NuPDP 4200 is a modern, industry-standard system that replaces the PDP-11 chassis, CPU, memory, and mass storage. Your current PDP-11 disk images can be transferred onto a NuPDP system running your existing operating system and applications. You can select from a variety of new technology controllers such as the DRV11-WA and DRQ3B to replace popular legacy Qbus interfaces. When a new interface is not available for your application, you can choose to retain your interfaces in a Qbus chassis connected to the NuPDP, or we can design a replacement interface.
