At the time, I wondered about the wisdom of using a song containing lines like:
"You make a grown man cry"
to market a product to the masses. It appears I may have been overthinking it.

No, Brad was not the founder of NewTek. He did do early designs of the Toaster.

So I have an RL01 pack, and no RL01 drives. Free to someone who can make use

Back in the day we were running and selling 2000 gear in the 80's never
had a bad power supply. one fan died in our 2000 F/ access system and
rather than tear it down to replace the fan just bolted a mother of a
fan to the back of the processor over the space the dead fan was.

I’m a noob using RX02’s but thought I’d run this past people that may have
debugged them in the past and see if they agree with what I’m finding:
I’m trying to get a RX02 + RX211 + 11/44 going. The RX02 appears to power up OK
(fan and motor spinning). I verified I have the DY boot rom in the 44.
Alright, thanks for all the helpful tips and information.
I guess what I'll do when disassembling it is note down every electrolytic,
and probably just throw them all into a Digikey order that I'm working on
for other repairs.
Probably will give reforming a try if it seems practical, but I assume
There is an HP book specifically on I/O interfacing to the 2100 (and 21MX) I/O
bus. I think there's also an abbreviated chapter on it in a different manual.
I'll see if I can dig up the name and if it's online anywhere.
I've restored at least five 2100's, and run a dual cpu 2100A & 2100S system

Hi KIrk,
The H771 is a rock solid power supply. I never saw one go bad while in
field service, but they are getting old. Checking the output voltage and
ripple is not a bad idea.
forgive me for asking, but where are you located? The RX02 had 4 different
power hanesses for i20, 220, 50 hz and 60

I actually got the rx02 from another hobbyist that
used it with the 44 in 2008 so I suspect it is configured correctly. The other
