Subject: Re: Odd PDP-11/84 Unibus behaviour
I remember working on grants in the 11/84.
The 11/84 is very user-friendly, because there is a board next to
the CPU that has several DIP switches. Each DIP switch opens
or closes the NPR of one slot. So there is no need to count pins
on the backplane to find CA1-CB1. Just open/close the switch
for the appropriate slot.
BTW Camiel, my 11/84 also has an M9302 in A-B of the last slot.
