Anyone out there have a manual for the Emulex CS21/H (or possibly the /U variant)? This
is a UNIBUS DH11 clone. (There are also /FA, /FB, /FC, and /FD variants which are DMF32
clones - and we have the manual for these but it's of no use for our CS21/H boards
:)).
At the very least, if anyone has the dip switch settings for this, that would be an
immense help.
Thanks,

Not for a CS21/H, but I have the CS11/H tech manual. I know they're
contemporary, but presumably different; I have no idea how different.
The CS11 has four DIP switches:
SW1-1,5,6 set various options
(expanded silo, interleaving of DM11/DH11 vectors, force 2 stop bits)
SW1-2 is "not used and MUST BE OFF"
SW1-3,4 are used to set DM11/DH11 vectors with SW2
SW2-1...4 set vector address (DM11)
SW2-5...8 set vector address (DH11)
SW3-1 is RUN/HALT-RESET (open/closed)
SW3-2,3 set the number of CP11 panels in use
(= number of DH11 emulations)
SW3-4 is the override for part of the selftest
SW4-1...4 set start address
SW4-5,6 are "not used and MUST BE OFF"
I don't know how much, if any, help that is.

Thanks, Pete. Unfortunately for us, the CS11 and CS21 are very different.
The CS11/H is a DH11+DM11 device, while the CS21 is a DH11 "with DZ11 modem
control" according to the 1982 Emulex parts catalog at Bitsavers (see pages
60 and 65 respectively of http://bitsavers.org/pdf/emulex/1982_catalog_Mar82.pdf).

I may. We had a bunch of CS21 boards at Software Results that I think
were CS21/H. I have a box I can check tonight. If it's not in there,
I don't know that I got the docs from 20+ years ago for that board.

shop in 1993.

I checked the box. The non-DEC manual I thought was
Emulex was really a Codex 9600 baud modem manual.
Now that I think back, ISTR our Emulex manuals were in
grey soft-cover 3-ring binders. I don't recall seeing them after the company closed

Bummer. Thanks a ton for looking! If anyone else has any leads, let me know...
Thanks again,
