PDP 11/84 system

Ebay Dec PDP-11/84-AA 10.5 inch box, with H7202Ka

Box was missing a 8191, which is the Unibus bridge board.
A terminator, M7677 was in the customary slot for that board.

There may be some mods to this board, certainly some jumpers

Thread about 11/84

Comment about the contents of the system below:

Okay, so immediately I can confirm slots 1-4 are correct as listed on the chart
Slot 5 should have an M3105 but contains a G7273 so that's been removed.
Slot 6 should have an M7754 but contains an emulex CU1110401 card (no idea on what that is).
Slot 7 should have an M7762 but has another G7273 installed.
Slot 8 should have an M3105 but has another G7273 installed.
Slot 9 should have an M7273 but has an M7485 installed.
Slot 10 should have an M7258 but has an M7486 installed. (okay, so I do have the controller for the drive)
Slot 11 should have a G7273 but has an Emulex TU1210401. One of the connectors have a piece of tape on it marked " From 11/44"
Slot 12 should have an M9302, G7273, and an M87556 and they are all there.
I should technically redo the chart but it's all done in pen so I can't erase and modify it.
I want to plug in an M7093 and M8722 to tweak the specs a little. All you gotta do is plug them into a slot and they should work, right?

Very nice view allowing view of the card numbers. No info though.

Looking up cards, however, appears to be ethernet card M7521, and a card with a couple of 50 pin cables out to a 50 pin centronix. Third party, possibly Emulex. Is Quad high, so not sure if that is compatible with that or not. Rest is similar to other two systems.
