In an effort to beat Al, :-) I have a website page that
deals with the M9312, and the PROMs: www.pdp-11.nl/
Click on the PDP-11/34A folder, the CPU information folder,
the options folder and then on the bootstrap link ...
It describes the installation in the various PDP-11's, the
jumpers and DIP switch settings and the PROMs. The PROM id's
are links ...
Come to think of it: a description how to read the PROM when
it is socketed in the M9312 for identification purposes would
be a nice addition.
hope this is usefull,
- Henk, PA8PDP

While we're at it, how about an archive of pdp-8/a PROMs... There are,
AFAIK, three sets - the newest includes the RL8A bootstrap. I don't have
access to my -8/a stuff here (big surprise), or I'd start us all off.
I'm even willing to reverse-engineer source from binary, if someone makes
the binary available... I just got my first IOB-6120 working, so I'm in a
12-bit mindset right now.

New subject: VT100 ROM 2 wanted [Was: Wanted: M9312 ROMs]
I think archiving ROM images is a very good idea.
I should have done this earlier.
A few weeks ago my VT100 decided to give up on ROM 2.
So I am looking for an replacement or at least the image of ROM 2.
Even better if someone would have images of all VT100 ROMs.
Part No of my ROM 2 is 23-032E-00.
As of DEC VT100 schematics it should be a 2316.
TIA

Whoever ends up hosting the archive may want to
consider storing the files by part number name
(e.g. 23-032E-00 for the DEC ROM above,
although I suspect there's a digit missing out
of the middle of that 2-5-2 part number!).
An accompanying index file could spell out
exactly what is what (including version
numbers, where appropriate).
(Must remember to go off and dig up the few
I have somewhere and contribute them).

I have a complete set and have been meaning to do just this, but have
not gotten around to it. When I finally do, I will gladly contribute
these to the archive.
