I have recently become the proud owner of a PDP-11/04 with a set of
11/34 cards (M8266 & M8265)
This particular 11/04 has some stuff on an extension backplane that I
don't understand:

The M9688A is a very short card - titled DR11-B Test Board
The stuff in slots 11-14 is what I have no idea about.
Anyway - I also have a M8265 / M8266 pair that I would like to use
to upgrade to 11/34A if possible. To do that - I suspect that the config
changes to:
A B C D E F
M8266 M8266 M8266 M8266 M8266 M8266 1
M8265 M8265 M8265 M8265 M8265 M8265 2
M7891 M7891 M7891 M7891 M7891 M7891 3

M9302 M9302 blank blank M116 M239 9

The removal of the M920 should mean that the extension is
effectively disconnected.

Any help from an expert would be appreciated.
