In my ongoing excavations, I've located an orphan board that I would like to
return to its nest. It's a diode-strapped boot card, M792-YB. The pattern
looks like this...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- o o o o o - - - - - o - o o o 0
The question is, What's a one and what's a
zero? Left-to-right? I don't have an -11
frontpanel or handbook in front of me; is
bit 0 the MSB?
Looks like only diode=1, right=MSB produces plausible code.
Any hints? Worst case, I could translate all
permutations of the bits
into octal and figure out what produces the most legible bitstream,
That's what I did :-) Tiny script using Supnik's emulator.
The eventual goal is to disassemble the bootstrap, thus
revealing what
device it is for.
