| Title: MSV11-QA Revision Differences | Date: 28-JUN-85 |
+----------------------------------------------------+-----------------+

+----------------------------------------------------+-----------------+
Digital Equipment Corporation recently announce the addition of three
memories for the Q-bus space; the MSV11-QA quad module at 1MB, the
MSV11-QB quad module at 2MB, and the MSV11-QC quad module at 4MB.
Earlier versions of the MSV11-QA were shipped using a revision A etch
and the documentation correctly showed the jumper configurations.
However early in 1985 the MSV11-QA/QB/QC started shipping with revision
C etch. The documentation at that point did not show how to properly
configure the C etch. It is the intent of this MicroNote to point out
the differences between the two modules and to explain the configuration
of both the etch revisions.
The two modules can be identified in any one of the three ways listed
in the table below;
1. The location and value of the modules serial number.
2. The location of CSR and address jumpers and switches.
3. The module's designation number, stamped on the insertion
handles will be different.
3A. Revision A modules will be labeled M7551-AA.
3B. Revision C modules will be labeled M7551-AA.
SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION
----------------------
The two modules can be identified by the location of its serial number.
The revision A module will have its serial number located in the upper
right hand corner of the module as you hold it with the fingers pointing
down or at you and the component side facing you or up as it would lay
on a work bench. This serial number will be 5017547A1. The location of
the serial number for revision C module will be on the component side
also, but in the upper left hand corner. This serial number will
be 5017547-01-C1. The attached diagrams of the revision A and revision
C modules show the location of these numbers.

JUMPER LOCATION
---------------
The MSV11-QA revision A module allows for the selection of Block Mode
DMA transfers, parity detection, and extended address parity error
detection as well as CSR and address selection. The address selection
includes two switches, one for the modules starting address and one
for the modules ending address. The ending address switch is used to
control the decode logic on the module as the same etch is used for 2MB
and 4MB boards as well, each with different value memory chips to reach
there designed capacity. The location and function of these switches
and jumpers if detailed in the diagrams and configuration tables
attached to the end of this MicroNote.
The MSV11-QA revision C module does not allow for the selection of Block
Mode DMA or for the selection of parity detection, these features
are built into the module itself and can be used or not used through
hardware/software compatibility. When used in a system that supports
Block Mode the MSV11-QA will perform as a Block Mode device, when used
in a non Block Mode system it will perform as a normal memory module
without any decrease in that system's performance. When used with
software such as RSX11 and using mixed parity/non-parity memories
parity detection can be disabled through sysgen. The only functions
that a user is required to configure to use the MSV11-QA revision C is
CSR selection and starting and ending address. It should be pointed out
that the two switches for starting and ending addresses have been flip
flopped from the positions in which they were located on the revision A
module. Once again refer to the diagrams and configuration tables
attached to this MicroNote for location and function of these switches
and jumpers.
The following pages contain diagrams and tables for configuring the two
versions of the MSV11-QA
