PDP-11 memory, ref H-222A

1977-1982
Mémoire de 16 kmots de 18 bits



Jiri Picka explique/explains

The H-222A ferrite core memory unit with capacity of 16K x 18 bits is originally from PDP-11 computer made by DEC.
The size of the memory unit is 397 x 220 x 15 mm and consists from two boards. The first board (on top) is controll unit with Unibus interface. The second board (bottom) contains the ferrite plane memory.
