Hi,
Anyone have a Data Translation DT2766 manual??
It's a
qbus 4 channel DAC
card.
I googled everything I could think of and can't
find a
thing.? I could
use a pdf (or the real thing, which ever works).? I'd
be happy to scan a
physical copy and return it.
thanks!

While you wait for proper info... apologies if you've already considered and rejected
this, or if it's a
silly idea...
Were you after software or hardware info or both? Either way...
I don't know the DT2766 itself, but I found a DT2766 picture that looked like 4 simple
D2As on a card.
Based on that, and on what I remember from a few decades ago, have you looked around for
DEC
documentation on the AAV11C? There ought to be some in various realtime-related documents
which
with luck would be available on Bitsavers and elsewhere, but I couldn't quickly find
anything useful just
now.
The AAV11C was a simple PIO dual height Qbus 4channel DAC card (and before it, there was
the
AAV11A quad height card).
If you're lucky you *might* get a pleasant surprise from the AAV11C. Or it might be
completely different
from a DT2766, in which case, apologies.
My hardcopy of DEC's 1985 Microcomputer Products Handbook has five pages on the AAV11C
in
chapter 33, covering addressing, configuration, but not connector pinout. Chapter 33
references the
LSI11 Analog System Users Guide, an AAV11C Field Maintenance Print Set, and the AAV11
Diagnostic
Documentation Kit. Manx says the Analog System Users Guide isn't online, didn't
check the others..
There was also an AAV11D which really was a rather different beast, with upmarket features
like DMA.
Best of luck
