Indeed, these are MS11-LB boards, but I don't know yet, if they work. Got them a long time ago with a bunch of other untested unibus boards. With the BA11-F enclosure actually came a DD11-DK backplane.
On Henk's website, I saw that one of his systems also has a DD11-DK backplane mounted in it despite the shorter
cable lengths compared to a DD11-DF according to what Paul Anderson wrote.
I will have a look at this as soon as I have time and will extend the cables accordingly, if required.
Thanks a lot for all the great hints provided so far by the list member :)
All the best,
Pierre
