No one here has ever played with any Data General computers? How
about Prime? National Semiconductor? Metrodata? Intel Multibus? How
about VME/VXI?

Data General Nova (at work, not at home).

Tektronix 6130 based on the National Semiconductor 32016 CPU (at home).

Both my "Cosmos CMS-16/UNX" and my Sun 2/120 used the Intel
Multibus, but not Intel CPUs in either case. Instead
68000 (for the Cosmos), and 68010 (for the Sun 2/120).

DEC LSI-11 (in the Bridgeport BOSS-3 CNC mill. :-)

Aside from that, I've done a bit of work on a CDC Cyber 70 (but
certainly not at home. :-)

Enjoy,
DoN.
