  • Drag race for old busses?

    From Louis Ohland@21:1/5 to All on Thu Apr 20 11:35:28 2023
    Folks, would comparing the performance of an 8570-Bxx and Model 90-xJx
    both with an IBM SCSI controller be logical?

    This might be the best comparison of the capabilities of a single path
    versus dual path systems...

    I gave my 8570-Bxx to Kevin, IIRC.

    The system you gave me had a Reply planar IIRC. I in turn gave it to Industrial Dave.

    The only Model 70 Reply system board I ever had would not POST.

    My Model 8570-Bxx was a Axx upgraded with Bxx ROMs and the 486DX-25
    Power Platform.

    I have several new in the box reply Planers.... mod 70 80 50 and 55
    I'm quite sure that some of the model 55's came with reply mfg planers for IBM sold equipment...

    The system that I received from you had a souped up plane that held a cpu on a riser with cache memory

    All of the New Reply planers came with a Blue slanted "R" in the box as part of the kit...

    A long time ago, I had a Reply board for the 8580, IIRC PODifiable,
    eight SIMM sockets. Nice...
