The MSV11-M (M7506) is a dual-height QBUS DRAM main memory card. The MSV11-MB (M7506-BA) holds 1 MByte when fully populated with 256K DRAMs chips, the MSV11-MA (M7506-AA) is half-populated (the only partially-filled configuration allowed) and holds 512 Kbytes.

The memory is arranged as 2 banks, each 16 data bits (1 PDP-11 word) wide, with 2 additional bits for parity (1 per byte). It is a Q22 card; it reportedly supports QBUS block mode.

Configuration

No documentation on the MSV11-M is extant, so it is currently not known how to configure it.

Technical information

As far as is known, there are no copies of the engineering drawings extant for the MSV11-M.
