    PDP/11 Hack+

    I’m really pleased to say that over the holiday I managed to get some time and built up my RAM/ROM/Text Display PCB for my DCJ11 system. First power up (just RAM) worked, I could write and read from the memory, YAY! Next up I added the display and that also worked (you can see the block on the right hand most character), however I couldn’t then write to the UART memory address, after a bit of digging I’d got my PAL code wrong for the memory address decoding. I forgot that the DCJ11, despite being a 16 bit chip, can only access 16bits of address. A quick bit of rework…
