[9fans] there's enough old guys here who might know this

[Ronald G. Minnich]

I'm looking for a picture of a digital-to-analog converter once sold on a
card for the PDP11. Said DAC was manufactured by DEC, and had in large
type on it: 

DEC DAC

which is why I want the picture. No joy on google, let me know if you ever 
saw one and have a picture.

DEC was, no question, a company with a sense of humor, before it all went 
bad.

Basser had a DEC DAC (right Boydo?).  But that was 25 years ago
and it has probably been thrown out a long time ago.

There may be a copy of the manual in the C-Side Technical Library
(in Sydney).  I won't be able to check for a while.  Maybe someone
listening in can follow this lead.

I wrote a standalone driver for a PDP11/RK/DAC thing that was
in the unnamed room between G4 and the machine room if that
jogs the memory.

nope, but we didn't hook up till '82 or so, so it was probably before my time.
