Ah, will the 11/73 work in the H-11?

The answer is "Maybe." It depends on whether the H11 does anything
"funky" with the -- at the time of the LSI-11/03 -- unused bus lines
that the 11/23 and 11/73 (and later 22-bit '11 CPUs) used for the
higher order address bits.

It shouldn't since the H11 uses the actual straight from DEC LSI-11 CPU board.


You will probably also want to invest in an MSV11-L RAM; or if you
feel very bored, wirewrap the backplane to 22-bit and invest in a 512K
or 1MB RAM board.


Otherwise, it should be fine.


Cheers,
Christian
