Tu10 pdp11

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.

The TE16 is nearly (?) identical to the TU10. My guess is that the TU10 is just a bit older. My TE16 has a MASSBUS interface, so I cannot compare on that side. However, the TE16 also is either master or slave. And to a master can be connected 7 slaves. The interconnection is three 40-wire flat cables. ISTR that the interface for the TU10 is a 4-slot backplane, and I think it is called TMB11. The TMB11 is also used to hook up the TS03. So you need the 4-slot backplane in the master tape drive, and the 4-slot TMB11 backplane in the CPU or expansion box. This is from (old) memory cells, so I could be wrong! - Henk
