LSI-11 Option Module Configuration DataIts worth repeating that either of the sites below are good places to look for hardware information. In fact they look identical (and probably are through the magic of the internet). I have shamelessly included a little of this information along with the links so I have my own local copy, but there is a lot of other information at the source. Most of the information below came from "LSI-11 Systems Service Manual." Digital part # EK-LSIFS-SV. This was available for $42 in 2000, but they would only ship to addresses in the US. Pretty sure this no longer works, but back in the day you could call 1-800 Digital and tell them you want the "customer order managment group" (if you didn't do this you would likely be talking to someone who has never heard of a PDP-11). In addition to the jumper information below and on my CPU and Bootstrap Module page, this manual describes most of the PDP-11 Qbus compatible boards manufactured by DEC on or before 1985. The abridged listing below should let you decide if its something you need:
Another useful on-line reference is a work in progress by Tim Shoppa. He directed me to this site when I asked on the Newsgroup for information on the RQDX3 controller. Its an option module documentation manual from the early 90's, called "Entry Level Systems". There is a master index file from which the list below was extracted. Each individual page scanned from the manual has a 3 digit page number, ###, associated with it: out###.trim.png. This number is padded with zeros if less than 100. More PNG Info available on format and applications.

The service manual gives a full description of each boards registers. I have tried to provide the required configuration data, but only touch on the register information for the following modules:
MSV11-D,E (M8044,5) MOS Read/Write MemoryThis memory module is a two slot (dual height) card which was often used in systems with less than 64 kb. Several versions exist, the MSV11-D? (M8044) is non-parity (16 bits/word) and the MSV11-E? (M8045) has parity memory (18 bits/word).

One configures the starting bank address (0-31 decimal) via the five
position dip switch S1. Each starting bank is 4k words, when installing
multiple modules, set the first to start on bank 0, calculate the
number of banks this card spans (1,2,4,8 decimal), and set the next
cards bank select to span the next contiguous memory block.
Repeat as required for more cards.
Press down the desired side of rocker switch to enable or disable bit
in starting bank number.
Ie bank 0 => all closed, bank 1 => all but S1-1 closed...
My manuals says the factory configuration is a jumper between pins 2-3 to disable bank 7 addressing. This configuration is used with an 11/03 type system without memory managment. Minic systems allowed a 2k io page rather than the standard 4k, and could use the bottom half of bank 7 for system memory. This is enabled with a jumper between pins 1-2. Its says one can use these boards in an 11/23 system with memory mapping, and has examples of setting the start bank to 7. I assume in this case one removes all jumpers from pins 1,2, and 3 but it never says this! Pins W2 through W5 control the power source. Install W3 and W2 for normal system power, or W4 and W5 for battery backup power.
All MSV11-D non-parity modules have pin 5 to pin 7. The memory size is also factory configured by pins {10,12,14,15,16,17} as shown in the table above. DLV11-J (M8043) Serial Line UnitDiagnostic: VDLA??.BI? DLV11-J Test

many of labels above are associated with 3 pins as described
below. R0-R3 indicate the position of terminating resistors.
For register information see micronote 33,
DL Device Reference, or my
SLU register description. A copy of the
configuration information from Metalab is given below:
Date: Sun, 17 Jan 93 20:03:00 PSTFrom: cdl@edu.ucsd.mpl (Carl Lowenstein)
To: info-pdp11@com.transarcSubject: DLV11J alias DLVJ1
OK, here goes a graze through the manual. By the way, the right FM
is "Microcomputer Products Handbook EB26078" Digital Equipment Corp. 1985.
A very informative book, it stands out in a decade of DEC handbooks
as the only one with real information in it.
The M8043 is a 4-channel asynchronous serial line unit, known as DLVJ1,
previously known as DLV11-J.
E,D,S,P per channel can be connected either to 0 or 1. The 0'ness and
1'ness are the same as the address jumpers, which are labelled near
the connector end of the board.The standard E = 0 Odd parity
configuration: D = 1 8 data bits S = 0 1 stop bit
P = 1 Parity inhibited
Data rate selection is done by pins labelled 0,1,2,3 for the 4 channels,
and another set U = 150 T = 300 V = 600
W = 1200 Y = 2400 L = 4800
N = 9600 K = 19200 Z = 38400
The configuration of the address and vector jumpers is somewhat complicated
by the fact that channel 3 can be pre-empted to be at the standard PDP11
console address, somewhat independent of the addresses assigned to the
other channels.Address bits <12-8> have 3 wire-wrap posts, labelled 0 1 X
Jumper X to 1 for a 1 Jumper X to 0 for a 0
Address bits <7,6> have two wire-wrap posts.
Jumper in for a 1 Jumper out for a 0
Jumpers C1 and C2 select the console address. To have a console at
standard address (177560) install both jumpers X to 1. To have merely
another serial port in the block of addresses selected by address bits
<12-6> install both jumpers X to 0.
Vector bits <7,6> have two wire-wrap posts.
Jumper in for a 1 Jumper out for a 0
Vector bit 5 has 3 wire-wrap posts.
If channel 3 is to be at the console address, jumper X to 0
Otherwise, jumper X to 1 for a 1, remove jumper for a 0
By the way, the use of channel 3 as a console device requires that
the base address be set to 176500, 176540, or 177500.
The standard configuration of the board is addr vec
channel 0 176500 300 channel 1 176520 320
channel 2 176540 340 channel 3 177560 060
The jumpers M0,N0 and so on for the other channels can be used
to set up the line drivers/receivers for balanced RS422 rather
than the unbalanced RS232/RS423 that is the standard setup.
For RS422, jumper M0 to 2 in its line of 3 posts,likewise jumper N0 to 2.
Also add a 100-ohm termination resistor, on the pads provided.
For RS232, jumper M0 to 3, and N0 to 3 (standard setting).
Lots more than you really wanted to know, I'm sure.
By the way, here's one more useful bit of information, not findable
in almost any DEC manual.

RXV21 (M8029) RX02 ControllerTwo consecutive registers, the Control Status, CSR, and Data Buffer, DB, are used in the IO page. The DB represents one of six controller registers according to the protocol of the function that is in progress. DB can be read after a function completes to obtain error information. Note that all data that passes to or from the disk passes through this register during read and write operations. The two standard controller locations are: 1st Controller 2nd Controller

RLV21 (M8061) RL02 ControllerThis is the four slot (quad height) controller for RL01/02 disks. Four consecutive registers CSR,BAR,DAR, and MPR are always visible in the IO page. A fifth Bus Extension Register, BAE, is enabled with 22 bit addressing. Detailed register information is available in Section 3 of the Sigma SDC-RLV12 manual. This describes a board which emulates an RLV21 controller.

Memory parity error abort feature may be enabled even if
memory does not have parity error checking. Jumper M23-M24
for no parity check, and M24-M24 for parity error abort.
The W1 and W2 jumpers should be left installed to allow priority
signals to pass through the module.
The M26-M27 and M28-M29 jumpers should also be left installed
to enable the crystal oscillator and the voltage controlled
oscillator.
M1-M2 jumper is factory installed for 22 bit addressing (A21-A13
set). This allows bank 7 to be determined by the upper address
bits. This will work on 16 and 18 bit systems if its the only RL02
controller in the system. Otherwise remove jumper for 18 bit
mode bank 7 select (A17-A13 set).
Address bits A12-A3 (M21-M12) connected to M22 (GND) decode as 1,
connected to M11 (+5v) for don't care, and not connected to
decode as 0.
Vector bits V8-V2 (M10-M4) connect to M1 to decode as 1,
not connected to decode as 0.

DZV11 (M7957) DZV11 Asynchronous MultiplexerThis four slot (quad height) module multiplexes four serial lines through a single interrupt vector and CSR. Three consecutive registers are visible in the IO page, they have different functions during a read and write. The status information includes modem signals so this card is often used for remote line connections. There are modem control line jumpers and dip switchs for setting the CSR and vector address.
CSR (16 bit) address must be in floating point range 16xxx0
