I'm working on my pdp11/10 getting it back together. One problem I think
I have is that the secondary memory (a Plessy 700101-100) may be
shorting the -15 line for some reason. Working on it, but does anyone
have a manual or anything like that for this kind of memory board?
Alternately, what kind of Unibus 16k memory board exists to get a 11/10
from 16kw to 32kw of memory? Apparently I can't use
a MM11-B as it
requires +20 and -5, both of which are not provided by the power
supply
or sourced on a DD11-B backplane module. The 11/10 has +15, -15, and +5.
On a related note, where did +20 come from for Unibus and which systems
even supported it? Was it an 11/45,11/70 thing?
Thoughts?
C
(Yes, I could build a regulator to take the 30 volts between +15 and -15
and create an independent 20 volts. Maybe. Likewise I could generate -5
from the -15 and a 7815 regulator. Maybe.)
