Buses, Cards and Backplane

07/06/2009

The problem I have with the BUS LAB is with connectors: not clear on what kind of connectors to use. This concern took me to the CPU buses and connectors but in this case it was different: I could make final decisions about my buses both internal and external, the backplane connectors to use (DIN 96-PINS) and I also could get some idea of how many Cards the CPU might take (about 8).

I pictured my cabinet too: a refrigerator-like enclosure, tall and bulky as most minicomputers on the 70's. Now I can imagine the Heritage/1's "body", not just her "spirit"...

As per the BUS LAB, I haven't designed it yet.
