Subject: PDP 11/05 - looking for help - looking for Jorg Hoppe?
Jorg Hoppe:
I am the proud owner of an old pdp11/05. I does not have a M9970 (nor can
I
find one). So I cant do 20ma/rs232 output. I read in
somebodies note
about
jumpers @W1 and W2 on the M7261F that I have.
Apparently cutting one of
these disables the onboard uart and will allow me to put in a serial card.
I
cant find the jumpers. Nor can I find a print set.
Any suggestions?
Its not a slim line 11/505 is it, in which case you don't appear to need the
M9970.
If its not would it be possible to make an M9970. They appear to be just
passive

Or pick up the signals from the wire wrap as described here :-

you can pick-up the signals fron the backplane, with a wire-wrap
tool.

Hope this helps. Just what I found by googling as I was curious as to what
an M9970 was
