	Now I can see from the pictures, that Yes, its a Vax ( appropierately labeled 11/730) , and yes, it has a CPU board, but not that the CPU board is for a 11/730 nor that it has AMD 2901 chips.		Now I can see from the pictures, that Yes, its a Vax ( appropierately labeled 11/730) , and yes, it has a CPU board, but not that the CPU board is for a 11/730 nor that it has AMD 2901 chips.

			Yes, The AMD 2901 CPU (4-bit bit slice ), from the 11/730 has its own catalog number:

ForOldHack: /* source for new information, to be upated */ Update in progress. CPUs are ECL/TTL

source for new information, to be upated: Update in progress. CPUs are ECL/TTL

New page

Couple of things:

the AMD 2901 bit slice processor was featured on OSnews today.
the AMD 2901 bit slice processor is ECL w/ TTL interface.
the AMD 2901 bit slice processor is used on ONE Vax system the Vax 11/730.
the computer history museum, well every where I go, pics or it didnt happen:

https://www.computerhistory.org/collections/catalog/102621964 ( object number, full Cabinet Vax 11/730. )

https://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/physical-object/digital_equipment_corporation_dec/102621964.1.lg.jpg

Some spec tech documentation,

https://www.computerhistory.org/collections/catalog/102733605

Another 11/730. ( They have two, so on to Wikipedia to update them, then a request to actually SEE and Photograph these unique (slow) processor cards with their unique processors.

Now I can see from the pictures, that Yes, its a Vax ( appropierately labeled 11/730) , and yes, it has a CPU board, but not that the CPU board is for a 11/730 nor that it has AMD 2901 chips.
