Folks,
So I found my old stash of DEC boards, and there is a KXJ11-CA board, which looks like the sister to the PDP-11/53 CPU. I think it was an instance of ebay 'click first, read later'. Oh well.
So I have the bitsaver docs for this board, but they seem to fail to mention: What is this board for? They say it's a peripheral processor - OK, but for what in particular? Can this operate as a main CPU in a system, or just as a slave processor in a MicroVax or PDP? With a full-blown J-11 onboard it should be able to do *something*.
Looking for some insights .. Thanks,
