The facility to be supported includes two DEC 11/780 CPU's run-

These machines support the software development for microproces-
sors embedded in Ampex's broadcast video graphic and tape
recorder products. A three node Mentor ring has been installed
which is being used for CAE efforts and it's planned to have it
networked via TCP/IP Ethernet to the two VAX's in 1986. We also
support a DEC 11/750 running 4.2BSD in research oriented facility
