If the MicroPDP-11/73 front panel included an LTC I would be set to get
RSX-11M+ up with 1M of RAM TONIGHT. I don't have a dedicated clock
device. :(
Easily hacked up:

I used this (on a small piece of perfboard dangling from wires wrapped
directly into the backplane and wrapped in paper) to get RSX11M+ running
on a dual-height 11/73 with a 2 MB RAM card and a CQD-220 (with a Fuji
DynaMO), all on a four-slot dual-height backplane (in a BA11-VA) which
had the wires added for Q22. An 8-pin PIC is fine (with code updated as
needed) but 16F84s were what I had on hand (along with a homemade burner).
I PROBABLY have a PIC around here somewhere...but I don't know where and I know I
DEFINTIELY don't have a crystal of that frequency. I have an arduino that I SUPPOSE
could be hacked to work.
Does the bus itself need any special configuration? I DO have the front panel with an
LTC from the NETCOM I can borrow for awhile (No need for it until I patch ZRQCH0. It
looks to connect to the normal bit on the backplane where the front panel does. I can
order the parts in the meantime if I do this)
