Hello, today I've received a 3B/1A "Attached Processor Interface" or "API" (as I will refer to it in this email, note API will not mean Application Programming Interface in my contributions to this discussion) pamphlet, published by WECo in November 1981, concerning installation and maintenance of the API. From the introductory page:
> This lesson is a self-paced package that can be administered individually or in a classroom environment. There is a helpful glossary in the back of this booklet that you may use while going through the material.
>
> At the conclusion of this lesson, the installer will be able to:
>
> - State the purpose of the API as it applies to the 3B Processor.
>
> - Identify the different types of circuit packs used in the API.
>
> - List the number of API diagnostic phases.
>
> - Name the API circuit pack that interfaces the Dual Serial Channel in the 3B Processor.
Among the many pages (which I'll be doing a formal scan on in the future) are some references to BSPs and schematic drawings relevant to this information, I wanted to get that information out in the email archive now so the bibliographic references are preserved somewhere:
3B Processor:
254-001-031 - Test Equipment List
254-301-000 - System Documentation
254-301-005 - General Description
254-301-115 - TTY System
254-301-010 - Central Control
254-301-020 - Power Systems
254-301-100 - Input Output Interfaces
254-301-105 - Input Output Processor
254-301-110 - Input Output Processor Peripheral Controller
254-301-200 - Main Store
254-301-210 - Moving Head Disk Drive
254-301-215 - Disk File Controller
254-301-220 - Magnetic Tape System
254-301-800 - Emergency Action Procedures
254-301-809 - Acceptance Test Plan
254-301-811 - Task Oriented Practice-Routine
254-301-812 - Task Oriented Practice-Trouble Clearing
254-341-000 - DMERT
254-341-220 - MTCE Management and Diagnostics
API:
234-100-020 - APS Description and Theory
254-201-003 - API Frame Theory
254-280-114 - APS Software Description
254-281-030 - API Growth
Misc:
234-153-055 - File Store Relocation
3B Schematics:
SD-4C050-01 - 3B Control Frame, DMA Unit, CC Unit, MASM 0, MASM 1, Power Unit, Cooling Unit, Filter Unit
SD-4C059-02 - 3B Peripheral Control Frame
SD-4C052-01 - IOP Basic
SD-4C049-01 - IOP Growth
SD-4C051-01 - DFC Unit
SD-4C056-01 - Disk Inverter Frame
SD-4C058-01 - Tape Transport Frame
SD-4C057-01 - Inverter Unit
SD-4C070-02 - Inverter Control Unit
SD-4C054-01 - Duct & Cabling
SD-4C053-01 - Power Distributing, AC Requirements
SD-4C069-01 - Micro Level Test Set
SD-4C065-01 - Port Switch
API Schematics:
SD-5A056-01 - API Frame
SD-5A055-01 - API Unit
There are then references to a few "Handbooks":
HB 309 - 3B Proc
HB 263(A) - API ITS (Mainly mentions tests and diagnostic stuff)
HB 264(A) - API Generic (Not sure what ITS and Generic distinguish here)
Finally, a bit of fun. Towards the back of the pamphlet is a small crossword puzzle concerning the API: https://i.imgur.com/0pLcK9p.jpg
Answers to come when I do a scan of this. If anyone has any particular information they want me to try and find in it sooner rather than later just let me know, it's 88 pages but small form.

From a similar thread a year ago, here are the top level BSP numbers
for various 3B systems:
254- 3B20D
555- 3B2
585- 3B5
