Mechanically, the Nicolet 526 is a three-bay 5000-series plug-in. | |||
It mates with the center-bay plug-in connector. | |||
The Nicolet 526 is made of four boards and a backplane. | |||
Connection to the Tektronix mainframe is done via thee backplane. | |||
The four boards are: | |||
* ADC and Register | |||
* Address | |||
* Control | |||
* Memory | |||
The design makes heavy use of 7400-series digital logic in DIP packages. | |||
The printed circuit boards are two-layer. | |||
The memory is an array of Fairchild 2102DC MOS 1k x 1 static RAM ICs, DIP, soldered in place. | |||
