Hey, I have two MSV11-QBs here, each 2 meg parity QBUS memories.
I'd like to put both in the same system, creating a 4 meg PDP-11, but I
can't find the DIP switch settings for them.
The PCB in the PDF has the DIP switches placed differently on the board,
and the settings I try don't seem to work, I'm throwing memory errors,
and the boards appear in the wrong places.
the PCB revision is 5017547-01-D1-P2 while the PDF depicts a C1. I don't
know if that's the problem, but the boards do look different.
What I previously had was
__Q22_______ _______Q/CD______

What I've changed it to is:

With both memory boards in, the CPU diag ROM reports that I have small
ROMs placed around the memory space and one RAM board somewhere in space
of some strange size. I assume that's because the DIP switch settings
are wrong.
Anyone have the docs? Or know what the DIP switch settings are for
setting them to 0-2M and 2-4M?
Thanks very much in advance for your help!
