Evening,
Whilst I'm putting together a mouser order, I might as well order
EVERYTING i'll need...
With the PDP-11/23+, as I won't have the cabinet kit for it, does the
9-pin connector break out to standard RS-232 with baud rate configured via
switchblocks? There's two of 'em, which one is primary?
I'm assuming the pinout is documented in a manual somewhere as well,
correct?
The pinout and arrangement of ports is documented in the KDF11-B
manual. You can use regular 9-pin PC-style DE9 serial connectors
(the kind you'd use for an AT-style PC), but you'll need to rewire
the pins at the backshell. The bright side is that you only need
3 pins (Rx, Tx and ground). I keep a few in both DE9 and DB25
flavors, DTE and DCE wired, hanging around since it's a common
pin out to lots if DEC oriented stuff. Just mark which ones are
DEC-style with a Sharpie on the ribbon cable.
