The M9312 can be setup to also act as a UNIBUS terminator card, and can reside
in the
A-B position of the last UNIBUS backplane slot (ie, the 'UNIBUS out' slot).
Some of the jumpers on the card need to be configured to allow this, the M9312
technical manual gives the exact jumper configuration needed.
So on the 11/40, you can replace the M930 (or M9301) bus terminator card with the
M9312 with termination enabled.

always use the G727 , I think, the little 2 inch by 2 inch or so.
Try front panel funstions with the RL11 out. You'll probably have to move
it to slot 3.
There is a trick to using a M9301 or m9312 in an 11/40, but I don't
remember it now. It's been a while since since I've played with an 11/40.
