Its defiantely J11 powered, the white ceramic chip carrier gives that away.

Likely a J11 power Q or Unibus CPU of late vintage.


ROI was actually the company which made the 11/93 cpu. And, they made a 
lot of stuff for European telecom equipment. So, I guess it is one of 
those ...

The board says SBC J11-8, so that should give a hint.

Looks similar to a Mentec KDJ11-B workalike, I don't remember their 
designation. Onboard RAM and DLV11-J from what I remember...

Here's a link to the VAX version:

www.decuslib.com/decus/vax_games/mqix/

So it's written in three languages ... and it's multi-user.  Could be a
useful starting point though?

Nope, but I remember a VAX version that also used VT100 graphics.
Possibly the same one?  I doubt it's much of a memory hog so maybe
it runs on (or was easily ported to) the PDP-11 too.  Not that I
know where to find the VAX version either...

QIX game on PDP-11

2017-03-28 Thread Henk Gooijen via cctalk 

Hi PDP-11 game players 

I found that the famous QIX game was ported to the PDP-11 !!
See http://imgur.com/a/gtPfh
Back in the days, I spend quite a few Guilders on this addictive game.

Does anybody have a lead to the software? That would be awesome!

Thanks,
Henk
