My Pro-380 has built-in color (and graphics). Sound would be possible
using the TMS-11 - I have one of those as well...

I've yet to see a PDP-11 with builtin color graphics _and_ sound.
Me neither.
The 64 probably outsold all models of 11 taken together.
That's certainly possible, but one cannot argue that their
target markets were even remotely related. Or even aware of
each other's existence, for tha tmatter.
so it depends on your application and measurement I suppose.
We were talking about distributed math apps.
I'm told there were, probably third party, sound cards for
qbus. Has
anyone of you seen one or know more?
I haven't. I have a really neat Qbus card with a TMS9918
sprite-based video chip on it, though!
