The MSV11-D (M8044) was a dual-height QBUS DRAM main memory card; the MSV11-E (M8045) is identical (apparently even using the same etch PCB), but adds byte parity. They were used in the LSI-11 PDP-11.
They held 64KB when fully populated, and were also available in 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 sized versions. Initially they used 4Kx1 DRAM chips, later/larger ones used 16Kx1 DRAMs. The memory is arranged as 2 banks, each 16 data bits (one PDP-11 word) wide, optionally with 2 additional bits for parity (1 per byte) in the MSV11-E.
Four versions of each exist:
- MSV11-DA, -EA - 8KB (4K DRAMs)
- MSV11-DB, -EB - 16KB (4K DRAMs)
- MSV11-DC, -EC - 32KB (16K DRAMs)
- MSV11-DD, -ED - 64KB (16K DRAMs)
All are Q18 (hence, could not be used in Q22 systems, such as PDP-11/23's with more than 256KB of memory).
They had internal refresh.
