Introduction

The card is made in the standard NORD-1 card format.

CPU model Crate position
29 C09
35 C09

The logic diagram is documented in drawing 2A50.[1]

The content of the IR is set by the MJ-bus and strobed by the IS1-0 signal on pin 29 and 30. The IS2-0 strobe forces the IR to 161402 (IOT SKA #2) or 161422 (IOT SKA #22) depending on the state of LEN-1, this is a load sequence initiated from the operators panel.

IS2-0 strobe comes from the 122 Assembler card, where the IS1-0 signal comes from isn't known yet.
