Thank you for these. I have been (slowly) restoring an H-11 I recovered
from the crawlspace of a former boss. We did custom DEC work about 12-14
years ago on his H-11 (KDF-11) and my 11/23 (the target system was an 11/73
w/4Mb RAM, Fuji Eagle, the works, running TSX-11 - I loved the fact that I
could develop on a system I paid $300 for and deliver code to a machine that
cost >$10K).

I'm still on the lookout for the schematics for the Heathkit floppy interface.
Mine siezes the bus such that on power-on, I never get an ODT prompt. If I
put a gap in the Qbus, I can run the CPU, see the I/O registers on the floppy
card, etc., but, of course, it doesn't boot up fully - it seems to read in
the boot block, but as soon as RT-11 turns up interrupts, because of the
break in the grant chain, they, of course, never come. I really just need
to know what chips have their fingers in the interrupt handling and to probably
just replace them. My board is socketed and I have checked all the TTL chips
with an IC tester. I'm down to the Heath/DEC bus driver/receiver parts.

Thanks,
