wondering if there
is another way, possibly involving standard UNIBUS memory.
I do believe that there's an option to map some of the memory space on the
Unibus into memory space. It probably doesn't work correctly at all if
you're using the Massbus slots for I/O, though, and you certainly can't
get above 124 kWords doing this.
Do I need a special module to do this, or can it be done by some modest jumpering/rewiring
?
At the moment I would be happy to just have a semi-working 11/70, however I would love to
have it fully functional someday.
Out of curiosity, why can't you use your
MK11's? Not enough power to
run them and the 11/70 at the same time? I had to take multiple 15A
circuits to run my 11/70 with MJ11 memory boxes.
The 11/70 was defunct when I got it, and a week ago I finally managed to diagnose the
problem to be "MK11 related". (after reseating all connectors coming out of the
MK11 the 11/70 actually worked for about 5 minutes)
I was about to clean and reseat all connectors today, but when I turned on the 11/70,
something at the back of the MK11 short circuited .....
I only have one MK11 box with 768KB of ram, and I can only hope the modules contained
herein weren't damaged.
