I am beginning to wonder if the problem might be the ULA. The reason I say this is that when I set up the logic analyser to *stop* on a zero ROM address, it didn't. Which means it isn't resetting in the way I thought it was. When I traced the instruction addresses during boot up I could see lot

I would be interested in a few dozen of the cabinet feet and maybe 18 for the stabilizer feet. I seem to recall looking at a few of the stabilizer feet a few months ago and noticing there were a few different versions. I will try to find my cabinet handbook and see what it says, and supply DEC par

40 pin Berg cable connector recommendations for PDP-11 projects?

Hello PDP-11 crowd: I’m thinking of starting a project that will interface to a DR11-C, which has the usual 40-pin Berg ribbon cable connectors. I thought I’d ping the collected wisdom here to see if other folks had already sourced an available modern cable connector for this that they partic

Most IDC connectors will fit just fine. I've use old 40-pin IDE cables before. Beware that the keying boss may be too short for the old blue Berg housings, allowing the cable to be inserted upside-down (don't depend on the keying boss!). There are wire housing type connectors you can get, as well,

Excellent, that's a great start. Vince - thanks for the measurements, I will redraw a better 3-view using those. Not sure about how the extra bolt goes though. Ethan - thanks for confirming the different leg pad to frame pad. Noel - that is extremely useful info on the pads, I've now found them a

Chuck is right on about having the right tools. I use a Paladin (now Greenlee) PA1645 for most of my wire housing crimp terminal needs. I've got an older Weidmuller Mini Stripax wire stripper that works excellent, bought it after having used one in a job in college. I don't use the "official" tool
