Choose the solution that best meets your requirements:

NuPDPQ 1000 - "PDP on a Board" replaces PDP-11 processor, memory, disks and tape drives in PDP chassis.  Applications are transferred using emulation software to PDPQ 1000 without modification.  Existing Qbus controllers and equipment are supported without configuration changes.

NuPDPQ 2000 - PDP-11 system replacement for your PDP chassis, CPU, memory, and mass storage devices. Your current PDP-11 disk images can be transferred onto a modern NuPDPQ system. Consists of all new equipment: a Qbus chassis with power supply and Qbus backplane; a NuPDPQ 1000 processor with memory and disks; and four available quad-width slots (or eight dual-width slots) for your Qbus controllers.

NuPDPQ 3200 - Complete state-of-the-art system that replaces your outdated PDP-11 with its slow memory and hard-to-maintain disks and tapes. NuPDPQ 3200 allows you to run your existing application software and offers updated versions of DEC I/O interfaces.  Qbus controllers can be replaced with QP option modules, new PCI controllers that are software and hardware-compatible with Qbus interfaces.
