MicroVAX-I</ulink>
NetBSD: Cannot run NetBSD (As of 1.6.1)
last-updated: 2003-07-17
notes: Effectively a VAXstation I without graphics. Was
the first 'subset' VAX. Used a custom data path
chip and off the shelf TTL components. Came in
two versions; one includes F_floating and G_floating
instructions, the other F_floating and D_floating
instructions. Neither version includes H_floating
instructions. The MicroVAX I procesor includes
some of the optional string instructions (CMPC3,
LOCC, SCANC, SKPC, and SPANC) but does not include
any of the optional processor registers or PDP-11
compatibility mode. It uses 8K words of 39bit wide
microcode running at a 250ns cycle time.

notes: Same CPU as in VAX 8200, 8300, 8250, and 8350.
Digital's first true 3D workstation. Based on the VAX
8200 CPU packaged in a deskside enclosure, the
VAXstation 8000 used a sophisticated 3D graphics
subsystem designed with Evans and Sutherland. This
graphics subsystem consisted of the complete 3D
graphics pipeline and additional hardware support for
such features as hardware anti-aliasing of vectors and
depth queuing.

notes: "Synchronous Backplane Interconnect" to which sixteen NEXI may
be connected. A NEXUS (singular for NEXI) may be a processor,
UNIBUS Adapter (UBA), memory controller (and memory), or a
high speed channel for disks/tapes (MASSBUS Adapter or MBA).
Limited in length to three meters or less and is terminated
on one end by the processor and on the other end by a
terminator board
name: SDI
section: busses
type: storage device interface
used-in: RA series disks, eg: RA80
bandwidth: Around 4MB/s
last-updated: 1998-02-06
notes: "Standard Drive Interconnect"
Referred to as "A balanced-serial phase-encoded horror",
designed to stop charge buildup at either end. Used four lead
coaxial cable. Multiple types of cables - one from KDA50 to
4 male SDI plugs mounted in host system, thick black 'liquorice
strap' female to female cable between host and drive housing,
then thinner white male to female cables between the drive
housing and the drive itself. Cables swap pins so you must have
an even or odd number of cables dependant on the drive.
Cables were allowed to be up to either 15 or 30 meters
name: SCSI
