- I have recently been given the pieces and some documentation for a
- PDP-11/03-L which I am trying to get running. Having never encountered
- a PDP before I am not getting very far.
-
- The first problem is the 4 port serial card for which I have no docs.
- It is marked M8043 and is supposed to be set with one port at 9600 baud
- as the console. Can anyone tell me which jumper connections I should check
- to see if this is so? So far I haven't been able to get anything from the
- card.
-
- The other board about which I have no docs is the bootstrap/bus terminator,
- maarked M8012-YA. I'd like to know whether the 5 lit LEDs means all working
- or all dead. :-) I'd also like to know what the switch settings are.
-
- If I can get to the ODT prompt I will undoubtedly be back with more
- questions. Thanks in advance.
