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.
| 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.
| 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.
