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.
