Okay. Here I go again. This will hopefully be my last post. (Previously I was sspatter@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu) Anyways... I need a bit more help. Okay, I know what cards I want to put in my machine but I don't know where to put them. (Please don't tell me where you'd like me to put them...) Anyways, I need to know the order they go in in the machine, if I need any other cards to make it work,and how to boot the thing up using an M9312 bootstrap/terminaotr card... I need to know how to boot up just hte console interface and how to boot up the console and RK07 drive. Imean every step from turning it on up. (I'm going with the idea that I'm a complete idiot... Mental picture of a basic programmer) Okay. Here we go... The cards I want to put in it: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- M7900 M7901 M7902 M7903 M7904 I'm told these control the RK611 which I think is the drive controler for the RK07... M9302 Terminator card... M7762 RL02 driver card... 2 serial cards (I never found anumber on these but that's what they are.) M9202 Jumper to connect the two unibus things. 2 M7856 Parallel cards. M7850 Parity controller. (i've been told I need this one) M7891 MOS card. M7859 Console interface. M9312 Bootstrap/terminator M8265 M8266 M8267 Processor and floating point processor. I know where these go... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Okay, that's the ones I think I need... Any others that are nessicary? The PDP has 2 9-card holders and the unibus is connected with the M9202 card. If I need more card room, I have an external box which can hold another 9 cards... That's about it for now I think. Thanks for all the help I've been getting... Was: sspatter@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu... Can now be reached at: pblair@128.200.11.58 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- In next post's episode, little sspatter learns how to test cards to see if they work or not... -----------------------------------------------------------------------
