A high enough version of the EPROM 2. A PAL Fuse Map for burning a PAL that will allow the board to act as a QDT controller (Disk and Tape) 3. A special cable that allows you to connect a Serial Terminal 4. Instructions on how to get into the hidden menu to configure the board I should have #4, but I have no clue as to where it is. The person I knew that had #2 lost that data in a fire years ago. I seem to recall hearing about someone jury-rigging #3, I used the proper cable and bulkhead plate. The same process works for both the Q-Bus and the Unibus versions of the boards. Using a converted QDO board (it originally only worked with a specific Optical Jukebox), I have SCSI HD's, a Plexor 4x CD-ROM drive, a DEC TLZ06 (4mm DAT), and a TZ30 (half-height SCSI TK50) attached to my PDP-11/73. My PDP-11/44 has a matching Unibus board. Zane -- healyzh at aracnet.com http://blog.zanesphotography.com http://www.flickr.com/photos/zanes-photography/
