SMS-1000

Date Introduced: ?

Original Cost: ?

Date Discontinued: ?

Base Memory: ?

Offline Storage: Hard Disk, and 5.25" or 8" Floppy Disk

Display: None, it uses terminals such as the VT100

Processor: PDP-11/73

 

I have two of them, both in identical 19" rack mounts, the only differences are one has a 5.25" floppy drive, the other a 8" floppy drive. Both came with PDP-11/73 processor cards, and 256KW of RAM.

 

I've taken one of them and added 2MW RAM, a RL-02 controller with a single drive, and TK-50 tape drive. Unfortunatly the SMS-1000 has a very limited boot ROM, and I have to boot it by sending the bootstrap over the serial line connecting the console to it. I'm currently using a 486 running TELIX for a console.
