In addition, even before that, you must match the
CSR and
VECTOR with the DL port you are using. On a Qbus
system with a DLV11-J, usually the first DL port is:
SET DD CSR=176500
SET DD VECTOR=300
On a PDP-11/23, there is an extra port at:
SET DD CSR=177570
SET DD VECTOR=70
if I remember correctly.
I don't think so :-) 177570 is the switch/display register, which only
exists on some Unibus machines. It definitely doesn't exist on an
11/23. Maybe you're thinking of the console CSR at 177560 with vector 60? Unibus addresses are the same as QBus, at least for
I/O devices (things
like memory management are done differently).
Uh. I/O addresses as such are just addresses. Devices might be similar
between Unibus and Qbus. Depends on the device. There are many Qbus
devices that are similar/compatible with their Unibus counterparts, but
not always. DMA devices are not, for the obvious reason. However, they
can still be "mostly compatible".
The memory management is compatible, so no, memory management is not
done differently.
All that said, yeah, the second serial port is most likely not at
177570. But that can be checked in the manuals...
