OK. I'm trying to figure out how to cable some equipment up and I had
(erroneously) thought that the cabling between POSIBUS and NEGIBUS was
the same.
For reference I'm trying to hook up the following:
PDP-8/I
DM01
TC01
FPP12
I can make the 8/I either POSIBUS or NEGIBUS (but right now it's
NEGIBUS). The FPP12 can go either way too. The DM01 and TC01 are
definitely NEGIBUS (but I guess I'll have to actually verify that too).
I'll have to actually see what cables everything wants/needs because the
documentation for the TC01 seems to indicate 5 cables between the
devices (M904's?).
