The TM11, TMA111 and TMB11 magtape controllers are a series of UNIBUS device controllers, used with the TU10 and TS03 1/2" magtape drives. They are all compatible, both in their interface to the drives, and in their programming interface.

The TM11 and TMA11 are almost identical in construction; they are implemented as a series of smaller standard FLIP CHIPs in a custom-wired 19" backplane.

The TNB11 is a re-implementation, using two larger custom boards - one hex (M7912) and one quad (M7911) - along with 4 UNIBUS-specific FLIP CHIPs (M105, M795, M796, M7821); all of which plug into a custom hex-high four-slot system unit (for a BA11, etc box).

For both the TU10 and TS03, the controller connects to a 'Master drive', which includes considerable extra electronics; additional 'Slave' drives may be connected to the Master drive.

TM11 and TMA11 Module Locations

These are the module locations for the TM11:

Slot Connector A Connector B
B M111 M627
6 M111 M901*
7 M798 G736
8 M149 M149
9 M105 M784
10 M7821 M785
11 M796 M797
12 M795
13 M149 M149
14 M216 M205
15 M163 M112
16 M113 M111
17 M115 M121
18 M216 M216
19 M121 M113
20 M117 M627
21 M239 M113
22 M115 M205
23 M111 M127
24 M216 M127
25 M112 M127
26 M112 M111
27 M113 M901*
28 M203 M688
29 M113 M113
30 M304 M627
31 M307 M216
32 M304 M113
  • = Cable

For the TMA11, slot 27B contains an M7854 "OPI/BTE Detector".

Drive Connection

The connection to the master drive is a standard dual-width BC11-A cable, as used for the UNIBUS. This is the pinout for the TM11 (the other two are basically identical to this):

Pin Signal Pin Signal
AA1 SEL0 AA2
AB1 SEL1 AB2 Gnd
AC1 SEL2 AC2 Gnd
AD1 AD2 WD0
AE1 DEN0 AE2 WD1
AF1 DEN1 AF2 WD2
AH1 AH2 WD3
AJ1 WXQ AJ2 WD4
AK1 FWD AK2 WD5
AL1 RWD AL2 WD6
AM1 WRE AM2 WD7
AN1 Gnd AN2 REV
AP1 Gnd AP2 CINIT
AR1 Gnd AR2 SET
AS1 Gnd AS2 WDR
AT1 Gnd AT2 PEYN
AU1 AU2 WFMK
AV1 AV2 Gnd
BA1 RDS BA2

BC1 TUR BC2 Gnd
BD1 Gnd BD2 WRS
BE1 Gnd BE2 CRCS
BF1 RD0 BF2 RWS
BH1 RD1 BH2

BP1 RD7 BP2 7CH
BR1 RDP BR2 EOT
BS1 FMK BS2 CRCE
BT1 Gnd BT2 LRCE
BU1 BU2 LRCS
BV1 MAN CLR L BV2 Gnd

For the TMA11 and TMB11, delete the "MAN CLR L", and re-name "DEN0" and "DEN1" to "DEN8" and "DEN5" respectively.
