Newsgroups: comp.sys.mac.system From: probulf@Informatik.TU-Muenchen.DE (Frank Probul) Subject: Re: A/ROSE with Centris and Quadra models Organization: Technische Universitaet Muenchen, Germany Date: Mon, 19 Apr 1993 14:33:26 GMT A/ROSE = Apple Real Time Operating System Environment This is a system extension for these NuBUS cards using the MCP (= Macintosh Coprocessor Platform). The MCP-cards are NuBUS cards with a Motorola 68000-Processor and 512 KB RAM (expandable to 1 Meg). MCP is a development platform for hardware-designers so they can use a card with an own processor and thus the main processor isn't needed for these cards. Currently the only cards I know are - the Apple TokenRing-Card - the new Apple Ethernet-Card - the Apple NuBUS serial card Perhaps there are some third-party-cards, but I don't know. --------------------------------------------- Frank Probul Emanuelstr. 17, D-8000 Munich 40, Germany AppleLink: Probul.F@AppleLink.Apple.COM internet: probulf@informatik.tu-muenchen.de Munich University of Technology Department of Computer Science Germany ---------------------------------------------
