Ok. I checked my tu10, it has the backplane, it is a
master. I see where
it connects using the backplane cable to the pdp11. I never worked with a
TU10 before and I was looking to see if references to the tm11 were
"module/card" or backplane interface. I surprisingly found little
commentary or threads about the TU10 / TM11, other than DEC docs. I guess
these are not super common or people who have them have not often reached
out to the classic cmp community, that I could find in a search.

Just to be clear, a TU10, even a master, does NOT connect directly to a
PDP-11. Instead, a cable of the same general ilk as a BC11 UNIBUS Cable
(but I have not verified it is in fact the same kind of cable) connects
the drive to the TM11 controller.
The TM11 connects to the PDP-11 UNIBUS.
The TU10 master drive backplane has some "G" cards in it. The TM11,
mounted separately, does NOT have any "G" cards in it.
