Is this the
correct way to add the TC11 to my current setup and properly
terminate the Unibus by moving the M9312 to the TC11?
Yes, that's the correct way, although I have the M9312 in the CPU box
(11/34) and a M9302 as the "outside" bus terminator. Well, we have a 11/34 with
TM11/TU10,RK11D/RK05,RL01,RL02,RA80,PC11/PC05
and since at least two years TC11/TU56, everything is in working
condition.
I might be checking with you again later. I also have a TU10 and a
PC05 that I want to hook up to my system. The TU10 needs to be
reassembled (it was dismantled when it was shipped), and the PC05
needs a good cleaning.
I also have a
TU55 (single unit) DecTape drive. Are the TU55 drives
compatible with the TC11? Can a TU55 drive be added to the above
configuration and be configured as a 3rd DecTape drive? Or are the TU55
drives not compatible with the TC11? I have skimmed the TC11 manuals
and did not see mention of the older TU55 drives.
I don't know, do you really mean TU55 (the old DECtape)? I ask because
there was a single drive TU56 called TU56H (H for "half").

I think I'll try to get my TC11, TU56, and H720 mounted in
the rack tonight, move the M9312, fire it up, and see what
happens. It would be nice to see those little DecTapes
spinning based on the commands I am typing on a terminal!
I still want to get my TC11-TU56 online, but my 11/84 is
giving problems with the RL02 drives. Need to fix that first.
Is the H720 the power supply inside the TU56 chassis?
ISTR that you need an external power supply, +5 or +15 comes
to mind, and there are two voltages possible, but only one
must be connected ... I could be totally wrong.
The first thing I must do is a check if all FlipChips in the
TC11 are at their correct position, and if all are present...!
Following this thread with argus eyes :-)
