Driver:InterPro

Intergraph InterPro

The Intergraph InterPro is a range of computers featuring the CLIPPER processor, and running CLIX, a port of UNIX System V release 3.1.

Status

The MAME driver for the InterPro is a work in progress, and is currently capable of booting and running the CLIX operating system and some software for the InterPro 2020 configuration.

Hardware

Models

The InterPro range consists of 5 distinct generations or families, named after gemstones. The system models within each family share a common architecture and features, usually differing only by CPU type and clock speed.

System Families

Year	Family	Models	CPU	I/O Processor
1986	Amethyst	32C/100/200/300	C100	80186
1988	Topaz	3000/4000/5000	C300/C300Plus	80386
1990	Emerald	6000/6100/6200/6500/6600	C300/C300Plus/C4
1990	Turquoise	2000	C300
1992	Sapphire	2400/2500/2700/2800/6400/6700/6800	C4T/C4I

For Emerald, Turquoise and Sapphire systems, the four-digit model number encodes some aspects of the original system configuration, and breaks down as follows.

Model Numbering

Position	Purpose	Values
1	Case	2=desktop, 6=minicase
2	CPU	0=C300, 4=C4T, 6=C4, 5/8/7=C4I
3	Graphics	0=none, 3=MMG, 5=GTDB, 4=EDGE-1, 8=EDGE-2
4	Backplane	0=standard, 5/7/9=?

As examples using this encoding, an InterPro 2020 is a desktop C300 system fitted with MMG graphics, while an InterPro 6880 is a minicase C4I system with EDGE-2 graphics. Systems configured without graphics are typically fitted with a serial terminal, and branded InterServe rather than InterPro. This model numbering and branding applies to the system cases, but of course changing graphics options will cause a system's software-identified model number to change.
