There was a SHARE presentation early 80's by the 'Fat Boys' from Quantico that tried to plug a Siemens 3-phase printer into a 4361. I don't know/remember what they did wrong but they had load of pictures of blown out T05 cans from the CPU.

As mentioned, the wrong direction would presumably be a very bad thing for disk drives, so they don't let it happen. Anyone else's guess on the rest of the electronics. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
