Onderwerp: KY11 - ever debug one?
Anyway, it prompted me to try and figure out why my
11/34 console was
blank. The serial monitor works fine, as does the cpu, but the "digits"
in front are blank and only the run and dc-ok lights are on.
Has anyone debugged a dead KY11 ? Any hints?

Ok, I still have the printset with all scribbles that I made while working on it.
First, how do you boot your 11/34? Do you use the keypad to enter a start
address? I'd like to know, because that eliminates a lot of possible problems!
(and useless writing here).
Ok, only looking at the display stuff.
1. Check DCLO. It is used! (see drawing KY-1)
2. DC OK Led will always be on, as long as +5V is present.
3. Check pins 1, 2, and 7 of the 7447 and the DRIVE # L signals, they should
have a repetitive pulse.
FIY, the connector pinout is as follows on the console board (ASCII art):

If you do not know if the keypad works, check if the 8008 is running.
There should be pulses on D0..D7 and S0-S1-S2. INTR will be active (high,
IIRC) if DC LO is active, or the state on S0-1-2 indicates STOP (from the
timing states decoder E23, pin 2).
Can you tell a bit more what the console does, or does not?
