- The two boards you specified are the DLV-11J quad SLU, and the BDV-11
- boot terminator.
-
- I don't have the appropriate book at hand, but they should be fairly
- common where you are and are essential when fiddling with one of
- those systems.
-
- The books that are relevent are:
-
- Microcomputers Interfaces Handbook <- This is the one you asked for
- Microprocessors and memorys
-
- If you're realy stuck, send me some mail, and i'll post the relevent
- jumpers, and might organize (If i can find one) a spare manual.
