I'm just getting to know my "new" 11/35 and have some questions about the
current configuration.
1) Was the M981 (unibus jumper/terminator) unique to the 11/35(40)? It's not in
the field guide but is mentioned in the Unibus Troubleshooting Manual. I'm
assuming it provides near-end termination for the bus but it's curious that the
termination portion is on the far side fo the jumper. The only other examples of
the M981 that I've seen are in other 11/35 systems.
2) The system has 32KW of core - 8K in the chassis in an MM-11S system unit and
24K in a separate CMI Expandacore box. The MM-11L unit is a little strange in
that it is composed of the expected G110 control module and G231 drive module
but the core stack is an H215 (parity) rather than H214 (non-parity) unit. Does
this matter? If it does, how would it affect operation?
3) This is a "vanilla" system with none of the available CPU options. It does,
however, have an M7840 EAE board (KE11-B) which supports hardware multiply and
divide. Does this make sense?
4) The system is in a BA11-DB(?) case - 10 1/2" high with H750 power supply on
the right side (from the front of the chassis). As received, there are no covers
for top, bottom or power supply. Anyone have any spares, or if not, pictures
and/or measurements of the original parts? Shouldn't be too hard to fabricate
but it would be nice to be as original as possible.
OK - that's all for now!
Thanks,
Jack
