[rescue] EISA dual pentium SBC - ESP3520

[mazzinia at tin.it]

Hello,

 

If the cfg missing is for one of the NON Tek boards

mR_Slug's EISA .cfg archive: /~mR_Slug/EISA/ <http://66.113.161.23/~mR_Slug/EISA/> 

maybe this archive could be of use

Did you try the Tek forums?  It has been my experience that some very knowledgeable ppl hang out in the oscilloscope group.

I wouldn't normally ask x86-ish questions of this group, but this seems more interesting than the usual PC. I have a Diversified Technologies ESP3520 - a dual socket 5 SBC that slots into an EISA backplane. There is minimal info on the web about these, with some help I was able to find a copy of the manual and procure a backplane from eBay. 

These were used in Tektronix PDR 100s - a pretty wild appearing video recorder from the mid 90s. I think for things like instant replay of live sports. It looks like the video-related cards of the PDR had both EISA and dedicated video bus connections and it used FC connections to a disk array.

The main problem that I am facing is a missing EISA configuration file. I hacked a different config file enough to be about to run the EISA config utility, but I'm still looking for the proper file directly, or a copy of the Tek software "Profile System" which should have a copy of the config file. 

Please let me know if you have any ideas or leads

Mike
