Paul, Jerry, Thanks for the suggestion to take a look at DataTranslation! Looking in the bitsavers folder for DataTranslation, I found a 239 page July 1986 Data Translation manual for the DT3362 series of A/Ds. There are 23 sub-models of that board but the DT3362-16SE/8DI specifications

Thanks, I had wondered if some the earlier ADV-11and AAV-11 boards were just re-branded DTI boards. I have been hoping this is true for the -D variants. The most likely candidates are the DT2784/DT2782 and DT2771. Now if I can just find manuals for these...     Jerry On 10/17/20 2:06 AM, Pa

I recently acquired an ADV11-D Qbus A/D board and having been working on a RSX11M+ driver for it. It is similar enough to the ADV11-C that the driver I wrote for the -C works ok, but the -D is DMA capable. It seems to have two extra CSR registers in addition to the CSR, and read buffer.

I was thinking that around this time, dual slop detectors were becoming popular but it is unlikely this is your problem. If reading a dual slope before conversion is complete, the value read would be low in value, not just missing LSBs. They were generally slower as well but often in the 16 or more
