From: "Charles":
I gott an M8549 Universal Substitute Board off the
'bay recently,
but it's not what I was expecting, which was a blank board with
lots of places to mount DIPs.
The board does have 27 pads for 16-pin DIPS, but also three
"DEC10101" and one "DEC10110" chips on it (are those ECL?), many
traces on the lower half of the board coming from the Omnibus
fingers, and a couple of dozen 0-ohm jumpers.
Is there a schematic anywhere? I can't find it on bitsavers... So
what exactly did I buy??
My copy of the modules list identifies it as a KL10 board. The power
connections don't seem right for Omnibus either, but I suppose I'd
have to check that to be sure. (The date of 12/84 seems way late
for an Omnibus card, too.) I have no idea what the sea of jumpers
is good for.
I bet it could me modified to become a prototype card for your 8/A,
though, if no-one needs it for anything else.
