I posted about this board before and one or more people said they had one.
Now I'm curious if anyone has documentation for it :)
This is a 3rd party quad height unibus board and appears to be a 4 port SLU.
The manufacturer is ACT, and the only part numbers I can find on the board
are 10015000, 10015001, and 10015002.
There are 4 rotary dials (my guess is baud rate), and one 10 position switch
bank (priority & address?). I'm curious what all the dip switch settings
are, can it start at the normal console address and thus replace an M7856,
does it have an LTC capability, etc. Pinouts for the port (berg) connectors
would be good.
I can't seem to find anything about it on bitsavers or googling. Any
pointers appreciated!

I didn't notice the first posting. I have an ACT Model 10028, also called
QuadrAsync/E. I guess that your card is an ACT 10015. Have a look at
http://www.able.com/wizzk.html, your card must be a QuadrAsync/B or
QuadrAsync/C.
My card is a hex board with four fingers and a gap for a Unibus jumper at
location AB.

The pinout of the Berg connectors are the same as for the DL11-E cards:
Berg 3M Signal
-------------------------
UU 1 GND
VV 2 GND5F
TT 3 +5Vdc
DD 15 DTR
V 23 RTS
J 33 RxD
F 35 TxD
FF 14 Secondary TxD
X 22 Ring Ind.
BB 18 Carrier Detect
T 26 CTS
JJ 12 Secondary RxD
The rotary dials select the baud rates for each of the four channels. The
positions are:
1 9600
2 4800
3 2400
4 1200
5 600
6 300
7 150
8 75
I'm afraid I can't help with the DIP switch settings because my card has
four switches, one for the address, one for the vector and two for options
(parity, word length and stop bits). My card doesn't have a LTC.

Aha... that gives me upon further googling...
http://www.kuno.de/kunden/kch/able.htm
Which indicates I have a QuadrAsync/B (4 DL11-B's, EIA data lines only).
Nifty. Googling further doesn't show jumper settings. I may call Able and
ask 'em.

New subject: Unibus 4-SLU ACT 10015 switch settings
Regarding the ACT - Able Computer Technologies - 4 SLU board model 10015
Quadrasync/B
Able just gave me the switch settings:
Switch 4 - Address Selection A10
2 - A09
5 - A08
1 - A07
6 - A06
3 - A05
7 - Vector Bit 08
10 - 07
9 - 06
8 - 05
And if you add what Christian wrote below... that's complete docs for the
board (less schematics of course ;) )..
I'm certainly left wondering how one sets word structure though.
