We are debugging an interrupt problem with the PDP-8/I at the RICM.
Today we found that the INT RQST signal is not routed through the M117
module in slot F11 as shown on page 7 in the
PDP8-I_CPU_blueprints_1969.pdf.
Does anyone have a set of prints where page 7 is older than revision L?

We are debugging an interrupt problem with the PDP-8/I
at the RICM.
Today we found that the INT RQST signal is not routed through the M117
module in slot F11 as shown on page 7 in the
PDP8-I_CPU_blueprints_1969.pdf.
Does anyone have a set of prints where page 7 is older than revision L?
Yes. I have a schematic in which INT_RQST goes to F21D1, F_SET goes to F21E1,
and the result from F21F1 goes to the flip-flop at E33J1.
The ECO added KEY_LAEXDEP_L to the NAND, which required the M117 instead
of the M113.
The PDF is called "dec-8i-hr2a-d-pr (PDP8i Schematics -- OLD).pdf" on my box,
but I'm not sure where I got it.
Ah. I found it here:

Hope that helps!

I have a paper copy of larger (C or D) prints and the sheet that matches above
is rev J. I don't have an easy way of scanning paper that large so they aren't
online.

Do you have ECO information for the machine?

You may have been asking Michael, but I'll pretend you were asking me about the
8/I in general :-).
Only in the sense that I have "diffed" the schematics (manually) and noted the
ECO
history in the little box at the bottom. The notes I have say that this must
have
been all or part of either 8i-00002 or 8i-00020. Which is to say, this and a
change
to a pull-up are the only changes to this sheet, and the only new ECOs listed
for
this version of this sheet are #2 and #20.
Since the pull-up is just +3V(69), which is new to the gate change, both changes
probably belong to the same ECO, but I can't tell which number. (The other
number
may well refer to a routing change that wouldn't show on the schematic.)
I have 30 ECO numbers referenced, ranging for 00001 to 00099. Of those, I have
identified only 2 to the point of knowing what exact change was made and why.
