I've got a couple of kdf11s, but I have never been
able to find the
bulkhead panel for one.
Same here: that's why I posted that data; I figured people probably had
11/23+ boards that were 'unusable' because they didn't have the console
cabkit. "Not any more", in the immortal words of Inspector Clouseau! :-)

If someone was unable to figure out how to use an M8189 11/23+ CPU board
due to lacking the official cabkit there probably isn't too much more they
could figure out to do with it given the cabkit. I don't remember it being
much of a puzzle to find the info in online manuals and/or print sets.
I just used mine with standard M8043 DLV11-J type cables until I came
across a cabkit for the M8189 on eBay one day that wasn't excessively
expensive. A somewhat rare item to find on eBay.
What I haven't picked up yet is a cabkit for my M7554 KDJ11-D 11/53. I had
to hack up something crude to test that board and haven't bothered building
a proper console cable yet. The S-handle version of the M7554 (DECserver
550 CPU) is more convenient to use since I have a BA213 chassis to put it
in.
