[comp.os.vms] DEC peripherals on HP workstations

talton@GRASP.CIS.UPENN.EDU (08/06/87)

As an application for an HP workstation at the University of Pennsylvania,
we hope to connect a 3-D display sytem for medical imaging (essentially
a 3-D frame buffer for CAT scan data).   We currently support DRV11
DMA communications for DEC VAX systems and hope that a compatible
communications interface is available for the HP bus.
Does anybody know if this is possible?  What we would need is a DMA board
that plugs into the HP, preferrably a DRV11 look-alike but not essential.
Any experience with interfacing HP workstations to DEC-compatible peripherals
would be appreciated. Please respond directly to talton@grasp.cis.upenn.edu
not to the net.

Thanks,
