Migration to Windows platforms
PDP-11, HP1000 and Nova / Eclipse
The ultimate migration approach for legacy 16-bit minicomputers and applications, Strobe hardware/software emulation products execute RSX, RSTS and RT-11 (DEC PDP-11), RTE (HP1000) and RDOS (Data General Nova and Eclipse) in a Windows environment on enterprise PC technology. Migrating complete applications from the minicomputer to Strobe Data's Osprey, Kestrel or Hawk ordinarily takes less than a day.

Osprey / DX Co-Processor
9687
Double+ speed Osprey Co-Processor. Occupies one ISA/EISA PC slot. Writable control store, FPGA implementation of PDP-11 architecture with 4 MBytes of tightly coupled, zero wait-state memory. Includes FPJ11® compatible hardware floating point. Performance equivalent twice the DCJ-11® and 100%; of FPJ-11. On-card x86 microprocessor rapidly processes "virtual" I/O instructions. This card is used for Osprey/PC applications where all applicable I/O devices are emulated on the PC by Osprey software. Includes standard environment support for MS-DOS® V6.2.2. Windows/NT® environment support available.
