Thanks to everyone who replied, on- and off-list! There’s an MXV11-B (M7195) on

Since people were asking about my setup, here’s what I have:
- MDB BA11-clone enclosure, PSU, and 8-slot 22-bit backplane
- DEC KDF11-A (M8186) rev C processor with FPP added
- DEC DLV11-J (M8043)
My little LSI-11 system doesn't have a usable Line-Time Clock because it lacks
the register, which it expects to be in either an MXV11-B (M7195) or a BDV11
(M8012). My power supply theoretically supplies the LTC but I haven't confirmed
that, so my preference would be an M7195 if possible.

- 8MB RAM currently, soon to be 72MB

I just acquired a Vigra MMI-210 VME DSP/audio card that I’d like to get
working. Does anyone happen to have manuals or know where I could find them?
The Wayback Machine at the Internet Archive provides some programming
information
One thing I’ve done is dump the ROMs in my two AV300D. They’re identical except
for the last 4 bytes, which I suspect is where their host/Ethernet ID comes
from.
Unfortunately while the ROM is a JEDEC 1Mbit part, my dump doesn’t look
coherent, in that there’s no simple ASCII text like appears

I’ve seen that datageneral.uk at least has a pinout for an Eclipse MV SCSI
port, which hypothetically might match the AViiON DB-50 SCSI.
In the absence of real docs though, who can say?
Can you post the AViiON AV300D power supply pinout you’ve figured out? Maybe I
can power on my system with a
Does anyone have AViiON AV300D or related docs? I got a pair that have bum
power supplies and I’m hoping to find something that will makes servicing them
easier.
After I get them running, I’ll obviously be looking for software. And a pinout
for their unique SCSI port, though I hear they can

Why? That is, what’s the advantage of having 10+ instead of one or two?
