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

Hmm I've been on the lookout for a DTC01 for years. This is 
tempting... but I probably should get a PRO first :)

I've yet to see a PDP-11 with builtin color graphics _and_ sound. 


This one has both:

The machine is a SMS 1000 OEM 11/73. 

Here is the mixer screen:

Serial BitPad. 

Custom 4AD/8DA through DRV11. 


Discontinued. 

Of course... :-( 

Anyway, I just realized/remembered that I'm not sure if the PRO was ever 
mentioned in the context of PDP-11 with graphics and sound. 
The PRO obviously always have grahpics. But there was also a sound 
option to it, which could interface with telephone systems. Not sure 
exactly how capable it was, but I have some blurb in a handbook somewhere.
