QBUS sound [Was: Re: [HECnet] Parallel computing using DECnet]

I've yet to see a PDP-11 with builtin color graphics _and_ sound. The 64 probably outsold all models of 11 taken together. so it depends on your application and measurement I suppose. I'm told there were, probably third party, sound cards for qbus. Has anyone of you seen one or know more? /P

Oh man so we are going to do amazing things with 64 KB nodes ha ha. I like fractals sounds like a good application for what we have. ...we do have 64KB available right? :) Sent from my iPhone On May 1, 2014, at 5:58 PM, Cory Smelosky <b4 at gewt.net> wrote: On Thu, 1 May 2014, Jovan Trujillo wrote: Alrighty so no dynamic memory management.
