Hi, everyone,
I'm looking for a reference document that defines the functions of the
various signals on the DEC PDP 8/e/f/m Omnibus.
In Volume 1 of the Maintenance Manual, there is an Omnibus locator that
gives the names of the various signals and which pin on the backplane
each function exists on, but there's nothing that I can find that gives
the function definition of each of the signals. The information is
buried in the test of the processor description, but there doesn't seem
to be a place that I can find that summarizes the information all in one
place.
I'm troubleshooting a DEC RK8E disk controller that causes problems on
the Omnibus when the controller boardset is installed in an otherwise
fully operational PDP 8/e, and knowing what the various bus signals do
would make the task a whole lot easier.
Does anyone know of a document like this?
