I just recieved a few DECmate III "motherboards" which are supposedly
functional (the guy is selling more of them on eBay right now, for
their Intersil 6120 chips). Before I attempt to desolder the chip,
does anyone have information on these things? I'm looking for
information on what each of the connectors is, and the pinout of the
power connector (J2) and kb/video connector (J5?). Also, any manuals
or images of software disks for this thing would be nice : ).
Here's what the connectors are labelled on my board:
J1 and J? (can't see a label for that one) are 34pin headers, and I'm
guessing go to RX50s, J3 is probably the 'expansion connector', J6 and
J4 are serial(?) and J5 is the video/kb (?). I'm fairly certain that
J2 is power, but don't know what its pinout is without playing with my
DMM... but I'd rather get it right the first time and *not* smoke the
board...
Btw, J? hangs off of the side of the board, and is a right-angle header,
unlike all the rest of the connectors.
