Hi All;
Does anyone know if the Timing Board for the PDP 11/70 is Similar / Same, except for the M number, as the PDP 11/45..
IF I remember correctly somewhere it said that the PDP 11/45, 11/55 and the 11/70 all shared the same Basic Processor, I know the 11/70 has alot more stuff, (Cards).. I don't know about the 11/45 against the 11/55..
I got an 11/70 Timing Board coming soon, and I am hoping after Finger/Signal comparison that I can use it in my 11/45, IF not, at least I can use the Parts for the 11/45 (Bad) Timing Board that I have..
I am not giving up on the 11/40, but I am asking way before I need the answer, so there is time for people to Think about the Answer..
THANK YOU Marty

Just compared the drawings and they are quite different. M8109 was used in the 45/55 and M8139 in the 70. The one in the 70 has some
similarities but I don't think they are close enough to work.
 
Hi All;
AL, Thanks for the look see, I haven't looked at either of the Drawings as of yet..
Nor done any finger signal comparison, It would be nice, If I could make it work..
I would like to get an M8109, for my PDP 11/45, but Don't want to pay an ARM and a LEG for it..
There is one listed as for sale on Henk's Digital Computers site, But there is no email address, nor any way that I can see to get ahold of Him.. And I don't know If He is with this group.. And what to look for, as far as a name..
THANK YOU Marty
