PDP-11 floating CSRs: 760010, or 760100?

2018-03-17 Thread Fritz Mueller via cctalk
Hi folks, I have a question about floating CSR allocation on PDP-11s. Both the 1976 and 1981 versions of the PDP-11 peripherals handbook indicate the floating CSRs are to be allocated starting at address 760010. However, both the XXDP FLOAT program and simh's autoconfig suggest I should set m

I had a number of these. The construction seemed to be surprisingly flimsy. If you removed the top cover, check the back corner where all the cards interface together. These often work loose, making the terminal useless. Gently but firmly re-align everything and push it all back together. Then plug
