Also, the TU-56 manual I downloaded indicated that I
might/might not
need 5 G888 modules (Manchester Read/Write interfaces) depending on
what the drive was connected to. Anyone know any more about this?
I'm intending to use the drive on an 11/34a.
For use on a PDP-11, you'll need a TC11 control. The TC11 will contain
five G888 modules, and you won't need any in the TU56.
The only normal situation in which G888 modules should be installed
in a TU56 is when the drive is used with a TD8-E "Simple DECtape Control"
in an Omnibus PDP-8.
