(Whether that's all done on the companion driver
boards, and the H21x
card would just bring the wiring of the two banks out to the edge
connector in parallel, letting the driver board do what it wants, I
don't know - you'd have to look at the MM11-L engineering drawings/TM.)
The other possibility is that the PDP-10 memory used these boards in
pairs.
It's not either!
First, I looked at the MM11-L TM, and it talks about how the H214 has "mats"
(2D arrays of cores), 1 mat per bit; the H214 has 16 mats. So definitely no
effectively 36+ bit wide variant. So, pairs?
Well, I looked to see what PDP-10 memory TM's were extant, and there's one for
the MF10 (A-MN-MF10-0-MAN-1); and glancing in it, it _does_ use the H216 -
with "19 mats" to produce "19-bit word memory banks"! (Exactly how, I
didn't
have time to stop and read. It's got to be pairs, but at the bank level, not
board.)
So our guess as to which generation of PDP-10 memories it was used in might
have been wrong...
