The FPF11 has jumpers along the bottom which determine which backplane
pins it uses for power and ground. These allow it to be plugged into
either a Qbus or a Unibus backplane, for use with a pdp11/23 or a
pdp11/24. As far as I recall, it uses no signals from the
backplane...only power and ground. It connects to the processor via a
40-pin flat ribbon cable which terminates in a 40-pin DIP header.
This header plus into one of the MICROM sockets, where one would
normally plug in the floating point microcode ROM chip. It should
work with any F11-based system.
