I'm nowhere close to starting any sort of construction - I'm just
hoping to find a photograph for now. Long before I'd start any sort
of KE-11A project, I'd want to find a way to power up my
three-BA11-11/20 (no authentic PSUs at the moment - those were
harvested before I got the machine) and get it running. I'm expecting
to be using XXDP and RT-11 to confirm that it works before I move on
(fortunately, it's easy to drop peripherals like an RX11 on an 11/20
so I can import test programs from floppy or papertape as I debug any
problems).
Any pointers (in addition to bitsavers) on the KE11A would be much
appreciated. I plan to tear into the changes made in simh to see how
it works from a software standpoint, but the manual does have some
good descriptions already.
There were 2 versions of the KE11A AFAIK. The version (which is what
I have) is a complete system unit (4 slot) backplane. There's another
version that is a single SBC (quad) card.
I *think* I have all of the docs for the version of the KE11A that I
have.
