Well that usually means that there is contamination at the connection point or the sandwich is not clamped tightly enough.  I have cleaned them off with alcohol and a lint free cloth.  If I remember correctly there is not space for you to get them out of alignment. Paul. On 2017-12-06 10:42

Well, I replaced the LCD and was greeted with missing segments. Any suggestions before I throw in the towel? That glue from hell necessitated picking off the black plastic shielding bit by bit with forceps ans a magnifying glass. Really awful stuff. --Chuck

VAX Q-bus identical to PDP-11 Q-bus?

I'm looking after a VAX 4000 for a friend, which has a SCSI Q-bus card (M5976). If the card did not have the large metal face, would it work in a Q-bus PDP-11? We are not going to potentially ruin a card by trying this, but I am interested to know if this is the case. Thanks, Aaron.

We just dumped the enhanced character ROMs from a HP2645. 8k bipolar mask ROMs, 90 ns (they need to be fast since they are used as video RAM really). I read them on the Data IO using their PROM equivalent, AMD 27S181. The microvectors sets (line set and large character sets) are 9 bits. The 9th
