Osprey Co-Processor highlights! Code and Binary compatible with PDP-11 software and
application code.
Emulates a wide class of PDP-11 peripherals.
Full architectural emulation supports all PDP-11 software.
Q-bus and Unibus adapters available for special I/O needs
99% of the time plug and play!!
![Page 39: Al Morgan December 20001 Strobe Data Providing Solutions to Industry for 31 Years.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551c296b550346b24f8b5ff0/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Al Morgan December 2000 39
Benefits of an Osprey! Move to a high reliability, low maintenance cost system
platform
Investment protection– Keep existing peripherals– Retain the existing code and licenses– Preserve special or custom I/O devices using Q-bus and Unibus
adapters
Access to new, cost-effective technology– Replace low-density, high-cost PDP-11 mass storage peripherals
with modern commodity devices– Migration of multiple PDP-11 systems to a single PC– Code development can continue as on a real PDP-11, Or data from
the PDP-11 can be piped into new applications on the PC without disturbing the PDP-11 code.

Summary Summary
Ride PC improvements into the future!Ride PC improvements into the future!
Trivial transition from PDP-11 to Osprey/PC
Increased reliability using PC devices
Preserves existing PDP-11 software investment
Improved performance
Reduced floorspace and electrical power
