I've got a couple M1705 dual 12-bit output cards
for the Omnibus. Does
anyone have schematics or programming information available? I checked
bitsavers, but I didn't see anything in the obvious places
They're in the DEC Logic Handbook; in the 1976-77 edition, they are on pp.
227-231. If you can't find it online, Topline has one for sale cheap:

If you really need it right away, I suppose I could crunch the book into my
scanner and scan those pages.

They are also described in the 1975-76 edition, which is available on
bitsavers:

The M1705 description starts on handbook page 281 (PDF page 295).

Thanks Noel and Vince. I got my 1973-74 edition off the shelf, only to find
that it didn't have the M1705 (M1703 and M1709 were the closest).
Looks like the LAB-8/E did not utilize the M1705, but rather the M863, for
any digital output. Of course, the M863 includes digital input as well.

Also, if I want to obtain more information on jumpers (particularly
addressing, etc.), where would this information be? The block diagram in
the Logic Handbook shows a few select jumpers, but does not give a detailed
list of the 32 jumpers, if I counted correctly.
Thanks again,

Hi Kyle,
I'd have to do some checking, but the M1705 might have been tied into the
PDP14 industrial control. A bit foggy about it right now.
Thanks, Paul
