Is this a typo?
"the 11/03 goes on the highest numbered port" or "the TU-58 goes on
the highest port"?
My 11/03 wants to know. :)

Vince Slyngstad just pointed out to me that
there's a TU-58 (DECtape)
emulator that runs on a PC and can be used to transfer data in/out of
a PDP-11 to a modern PC.
Supposedly this is just connecting the PC to a serial port. However,
on my PDP-11/03, I only know about the serial ports for the console
and line printer options. Where is the serial port for the TU-58?
If you have a DLV11-J on your 11/03, the 11/03 goes on the highest
numbered port. If all you have are DL11-Es, you have to re-strap it
to appear at the right CSR for the TU58 driver to see it where it
expects.
