I've been tinkering with this mutt LSI 11/23
system I've got and am trying
to get it running. It's a custom-built system that has a mix of DEC and
third-party boards. It's configured as follows--my apologies if I'm not
conforming to standard DEC notation here [notes in brackets]:
Cage 1
Slot 1: DEC M8186 | CAMINTONN 504 [1]
Slot 2: Dataram Diceon [2]
Slot 3: Data Systems Design A4432-4 | Grant Continuity [3]
Slot 4: Emulex TU0110401 [4]
Cage 2
Slot 1: Emulex Tu1110406 [5]
Slot 2: Grant Continuity | Digital Pathways TCU-50DYR [6]
Slot 3: MDB DLV-11J | DEC M9400 [7]
Slot 4: Empty [8]
Notes:
1. I believe the Camintonn card is memory
2. This has "RK:" written on the handle...an RK05 disk controller?
3. The Data Systems Design card has "DY:" written on the handle.
DY probably refers to the RX02 floppy disk drive, since I think
that's the two character code used to boot an RX02 on a unibus
system M9312 bootstrap/console emulator. Perhaps a controller?
Maybe you already have the disk controller you need.
Does it have a connector to hook up a flat ribbon cable. I don't
remember off the top of my head how many pins are on the cable,
but I just hooked up one for an RX01 drive/controller a week or
two ago.
And if DY represents the RX02 drive, surely RK represents the
RK05 drive as you are guessing.
