CXY08 8-Line Asynchronous Multiplexer
From Computer History Wiki
(Redirected from M3119-YA)
The CXY08 8-Line Asynchronous Multiplexer is a later QBUS equivalent to the UNIBUS DH11 (it is a replacement for the DHQ11). It provided 8 RS-232 asynchronous serial lines. Output used DMA (with each line having its own buffer pointer and count); input used a 256-character FIFO buffer.
Like the DHQ11, it can be set (via a switch) to exactly emulate either a DHV11 or DHU11. It has full modem control.
Implementation
Physically, the CXY08 consisted of a single quad card, the M3119-YA. It connected to a pair of BC19N-12 distribution cable assemblies (4 lines each); each BC19N ends in four male DB-25 connectors (DB-25P).
Device registers
The registers will depend on whether it is emulating a DHV11 or DHU11.
