Basic Osprey - Single PC Slot
1. Osprey 18B (P/N 9475-18B). Basic Osprey 18 MHz
Co-Processor card, EISA/ISA bus compatible, occupies one PC
slot. Co-Processor includes Digital Equipment Corporation's
18 MHz J11 microprocessor and 4 MBytes of tightly coupled,
zero wait-state, parity memory. Control logic is achieved
with a 4,000 gate FPGA (field programmable gate array).
On-card 486SLC2-40 microprocessor rapidly processes
"virtual" I/O instructions. This card is used for Osprey/PC
applications where all applicable I/O devices are emulated
on the PC by Osprey software. Includes MS-DOS compatible
support software. (This card does not include a socket for
Digital Equipment Corporation's FPJ11 floating point chip.)
Order Item 3 to provide the socket.
2. Osprey 15B (P/N 9475-15B). Basic Osprey 15 MHz
Co-Processor card, same as item 1 except the J11 runs at 15
MHz. 15 MHz Ospreys are no longer available
3. Optional FPJ11 Upgrade Socket (P/N 4002). This option to
items 1 or 2 provides a certified socket so user may
install Digital Equipment Corporation's FPJ11 floating
point chip. Items 1 and 2 are not field upgradeable to this
option.
Osprey Qbus Support - Dual PC Slot
4. Osprey 18Q (P/N 9476-18Q). Dual card set comprising 18 MHz
Co-Processor and Qbus Adapter sections, EISA/ISA bus
compatible, occupies two adjacent PC slots. Co-Processor
section includes Digital Equipment Corporation's 18 MHz J11
microprocessor and 4 MBytes of tightly coupled, zero
wait-state, parity memory. Control logic is achieved with
a 13,000 gate FPGA (field programmable gate array). An
on-card 486SLC2-40 microprocessor rapidly processes
"virtual" I/O instructions. I/O Adapter section provides
Programmed I/O and DMA signals for "real" Qbus compatible
controllers. These two sections form a dual card set, which
must be ordered and installed together. MS-DOS compatible
Osprey support software is included. (This card set does
not include a socket for Digital Equipment Corporation's
FPJ11 floating point chip.) Order Item 6 to provide the
socket.

at 15 MHz. 15 MHz Ospreys are go longer
available
6. Optional FPJ11 upgrade socket (P/N 4002). This option to
items 4 or 5 provides a certified socket so user may
install Digital Equipment Corporation's FPJ11 floating
point chip. Items 4 and 5 are not field upgradeable to this
option.
7. Qbus Backplane Extender Kit - B/E Q Kit (P/N 9477-Q).
Ordered for items 4 and 5, this is a data transcription
tool to be used only during installation to move files from
the PDP-11 being replaced to the Osprey/PC. Dual-height
card plugs into PDP-11 Qbus backplane. Two cables 10 ft. (3
m) in length connect this card to the Osprey I/O Adapter in
item 4 and 5.
8. Rack Mount Osprey-Q/PC Chassis - RMOC Q (P/N 9591-Q).
10.5" high by 19" wide by 20" deep (267 X 483 X 508 cm),
this FCC certifiable** chassis with 400 Watt power supply,
quad-height Qbus backplane, cooling fans, and slides has
space for a standard PC motherboard, diskette and hard
drives (three visible and one hidden half-height bays), and
up to four quad-height Qbus compatible cards.
**FCC certifiable PC components must be used in this
chassis.
Osprey Unibus Support - Dual PC Slot
9. Osprey 18U (P/N 9476-18U). Dual card set comprising an
18MHz Co-Processor and Unibus Adapter sections, EISA/ISA
bus compatible, occupies two adjacent PC slots. The
co-processor section includes Digital Equipment
Corporation's 18MHz J11 microprocessor and 4 MBytes of
tightly coupled, zero wait-state, parity memory. Control
logic is achieved with a 13,000 gate FPGA (field
programmable gate array). On-card 486SLC2-40 microprocessor
rapidly processes "virtual" I/O instructions. I/O Adapter
section provides Programmed I/O and DMA signals for "real"
Unibus compatible controllers. These two sections form a
dual card set, which must be ordered and installed
together. MS-DOS compatible Osprey support software is
included. (This card set does not include a socket for
Digital Equipment Corporation's FPJ11 floating point chip.)
Order Item 11 to provide the socket.
10. Osprey 15U (P/N 9476-15U). Same as 9 except the J11 runs at
15MHz. 15 MHz Ospreys are no longer available
11. Optional FPJ11 Upgrade Socket (P/N 4002). This option to
items 9 or 10 provides a certified socket so user may
install Digital Equipment Corporation's FPJ11 floating
point chip. This option is not field upgradeable.
12. Unibus Backplane Extender Kit - B/E U Kit (P/N 9477-U).
Ordered for items 9 and 10 as a data transcription tool to
be used only during installation to move files from the
PDP-11 being replaced to the Osprey/PC. Dual-height card
plugs into PDP-11 Unibus backplane. Two cables 10 ft. (3 m)
in length connect this card to the Osprey I/O Adapter in
items 9 and 10.
