I have here an ADC-11 from Andromeda systems. The board contains a AD
converter
module from Datel systems Inc, and has 16 channels with a 12 bit
resolution.
It came from a working system, but there is no documentation. There is
however a
drawing on the top of the AD converter module which may all the info
needed.

I think you're right. I borrowed a DZQ11 board from a friend, and
I was able to set it to 770400. It returns 000000, but before it was in
there, it would just give a ?, so I presumed I had the address set
correctly. I tried to boot my program, and it gets right to the end of
loading the program, and hangs, although the run light stays on. If I
halt the system at this point, is there anything useful I can look at? I
suppose if nothing else, I've learned that the program does indeed check
for the presence of this module, and that I won't be able to fake it,
unless there's some I'm missing here.
Come to think of it, I left the vector address alone (I think at
300). Should I have changed that, too, or will it not make a difference
since that board won't respond the same as the ADV11 anyway?
Btw, the modules in the system will respond to both 18 and 22-bit
addresses. Does that mean I'm 22-bit?
Unfortunately, I'll have to cough up $350 for a half-broken
ADV11-C, or a $750 for a working one, which I really don't want to do. I
don't suppose anyone on this list has an ADV11-C (functional,
half-functional, or not at all functional) that they wish to part with? :)
