The '''DRV11-J High-Density Parallel Interface''' was a [[QBUS]] [[device controller]] which provided four bi-directional 16-[[bit]] parallel ports. It was a [[DEC card form factor|dual]] format card (M8049). It used [[programmed I/O]]; the direction of each port was programmable. It was not [[program compatible]] with any other [[Digital Equipment Corporation|DEC]] parallel port controller.

Connection to the [[user]]'s device was via a pair of 50-[[pin]] [[Berg connector]]s; PORTS A and B through the bottom connector (furthest from the insertion handles), ports C an D via the top. Data going out to the user's device was latched in the DRV11-J, so may be read at leisure; data coming in from the user's device was merely sampled by the DRV11-J, so must be held until it has been read.

==Registers==

The device had four pairs of control and [[buffer]] [[register]]s, which could be configured to any eight sequential [[word]] locations in the I/O page. The first DRV11-J was normally configured to [[address]]es 764160-764176; the second to 764140-767756, the third to 764120-767736, and so on.
