OK. I'm trying to figure out how to cable some equipment up and I had
(erroneously) thought that the cabling between POSIBUS and NEGIBUS was
the same.
For reference I'm trying to hook up the following:
PDP-8/I
DM01
TC01
FPP12
I can make the 8/I either POSIBUS or NEGIBUS (but right now it's
NEGIBUS). The FPP12 can go either way too. The DM01 and TC01 are
definitely NEGIBUS (but I guess I'll have to actually verify that too).
I'll have to actually see what cables everything wants/needs because the
documentation for the TC01 seems to indicate 5 cables between the
devices (M904's?).

According to my "Cables Handbook", the
BC08B has on M904 on both ends. The
BC08D Has an M904 on one end, but two W011 on the other. Hope that helps
:-).
That should help a lot - the older stuff (like the DF-32 w/R-series logic)
is going to have single-sided backplane slots. I don't have any of the
"newfangled" stuff with M904 connectors... all of my negibus stuff has
W011 on both ends (and it takes quite a few of those cables to hook things
together!)
