Harpo!floyde!jce is almost right in his discriptions of the "Professional" computer. (Who thinks up these names, I'll never know!) The PC325 and 350 are both F-11 based systems. They are not 11/23 or 24, per se. The F-11 is the processor chip used in the 23, 23+, and the 24. The PC's at least the 325 and 350, have yet another bus which is "private"; no UNIBUS or Q-bus. These systems are designed to run application code that has been prepared on a "host development" system and linked with the P/OS stuff, which is supposed to handle the guts of hardware support and supply the menu driver and character set generator. In other words, it is not ment to be a general purpose system but rather a small "intelligent" "highly programmable" terminal. aps.
