It Thinks It's a PDP 11/53 Now
Managed to find my old
Xeltec SuperPro
and some 27256 parts buried in the far corner of the basement,
and so with the help of Jonathan Engdahl's
KDJ11-D/S page,
my CPU board now thinks it's part of an 11/53 instead of a Decserver 550.
While I had the board out of the chassis, I changed
the console serial port to 38k4, leaving the second serial port at 9k6 since
that's what vtserver expects.
Telling the monitor to boot from SCSI disk flashes the drive activity LED, then tells me the media isn't bootable. That makes sense since I haven't put any suitable bits on the drive yet... and suggests I may be only another serial cable away from trying to install 2.11bsd.

SSRP is Working!
After some iteration, I now have a full build of
GNU Radio
from CVS running on Debian with 2.6.8.1 kernel on my
HP tc1100 tablet,
including the
SSRP
firmware, utilities, and examples. And it all seems to work! Here's a
window dump of my
first FFT
with a signal generator feeding an unmodulated 1 Mhz carrier into
the board. And here's
a picture
of the test setup after I dialed the generator up to 2 Mhz.
