PDP-11 Peripherals Handbook

This 1976 handbook serves as a comprehensive reference for PDP-11 peripheral equipment. It is organized into seven chapters covering:

• Introduction: Overview of PDP-11 architecture, UNIBUS, and supported software.
• Programming: Details on device registers, interrupt structures, and processor registers.
• Categories of Peripherals: A catalog of various peripheral types including memory, terminals, printers, tape, and disk storage.
• Descriptions of Peripherals: Detailed technical specifications and register definitions for specific products (e.g., AA11, AD01, AFC11, AR11, BA11-K, BB11, BM792, BM873, CD11, CR11, DA11-B, DA11-F, DB11, DD11, DF01, DF11, DH11, DJ11, DL11, DMC11, DN11, DQ11, DR11-B, DR11-C, DT03, DU11, DUP11, DV11, GT40, LA36, LA180, LP11, LPS11, LV11, PC11, RJP04, RJS04, RK11, RP11, RX11, TA11, TC11, TJU16, TM11, TS03, UDC11, VR01, VR14, VT01, VT05, VT50, VT52).
• UNIBUS Theory and Operation: In-depth technical explanation of bus signals, data transfer protocols, and arbitration.
• UNIBUS Interfacing: Information on interface modules and circuit implementation.
• Interface Examples: Practical design examples for connecting peripherals to the UNIBUS.

The document also includes appendices for UNIBUS addresses, pin assignments, and ASCII code tables.
