The DR11-C general device interface was a UNIBUS device controller which provided a pair of 16-bit parallel ports, one input, and one output. It was a quad format card (M7860), and used an SPC slot; it used programmed I/O.
Connection to the user's device is via a pair of 40-pin Berg connectors. A pair of optional single-width paddle cards (M971) may be connected via flat cables.
The DR11-C is the replacement for the earlier multi-board DR11-A General Device Interface. The DR11-C is slightly enhanced over the DR11-A (the -A does not have the CSR1/CSR0 bits).
Contents
Registers
The device has three control and buffer registers, which can be configured to any three sequential word locations in the I/O page; the first DR11-C is normally configured to addresses 767770-767774:
| Register | Abbreviation | Address |
|---|---|---|
| Control and Status Register | DRCSR | 767770 |
| Output Buffer Register | DROUTBUF | 767772 |
| Input Buffer Register | DRINBUF | 767774 |
In the register contents (below), bits which are read/write or unused are shown in normal font, those which are read-only are in italics.
