A bench test of the PSU with a small dummy load saw the PSU appear to work
fine. It might help to load it more to see if it still operates correctly
under load. The specs for the PSU are:
22 amperes at +12.1 Vdc
60 amperes at +5 Vdc
7 amperes at +3.4 Vdc
4 amperes at -12.1 Vdc

I picked up some Qbus cards yesterday. They seem to be board set for a
MicroVAX II. However, one of the cards was, to me at least, a bit unusual.
It was made by a company called Webster, and it appears to be a controller
for SMD disks. I was not familiar with SMD disks and had to look them up. I

My VAX4000-500 will no longer power up, with the PSU starting up and then
immediately shutting down. I suspect a possible short somewhere. I have
measured the resistance of the load presented to the PSU by connecting
probes to the backplane sockets used to power the machine. The odd one is

I finally fixed my H7864 PSU so I can now run my rtVAX 1000. However, I
think the machine is damaging memory boards. I checked the ripple and 5V
looks OK, but 12V looks suspicious. Is the 12V supply used by the memory?

While I look into what is wrong with my H7864, I'd like to use a modern PSU
to power my machine (actually an rtVAX 1000).
I think I would need to deal with the following problems:

something more temporary).

Some of you may recall I have a faulty H7864 PSU, which failed a while ago
with a loud pop, but no obvious physical damage. I replaced the blown
transistor (on the primary side of the large transformer), but when I power
it on, the transistor does not switch and there is no output, so clearly

Today I was able to repair the LCD monitor (admittedly a cheap one) on my
son's computer by replacing some of the electrolytic capacitors.
Had I not got into collecting and restoring (sometimes) old DEC machines, I
would not have had the ESR meter, the de-soldering and soldering equipment,
suit
Always interested in a 2000 and a 4000. I suspect these were destined for
other people, but if the takers have not materialised then I will happily
take them.

I remember the Research Machines 380Z and wouldn't mind getting one should
the opportunity arise. But I have no recollection of a "Special Control
Unit", so does anyone know what this is?

That might actually be a fun project to create a DHCP client for versions of
UCX/TCPIP that don't implement it. I will add it to my list.

I wasn't aware of DSRPLUS, sounds like it could be what is needed.
Thanks

If you attached a photo it didn't come through. I think the list does not allow
attachments.

Yes, I might be interested too, keen to see a picture, and I am not entirely
clear if the panel includes switches or not. Not that I have such a machine,
but with a thought to hooking it up to the SIMH emulation someday.

I have had a go with some of Tom's files but I have encountered some
problems. It seems the files have some commands in them that are not
recognised by any of the versions of runoff that I have. I have tried on VMS
5.5-2, 7.3 and 8.4.
The commands that are not recognised include (not a full list):
101 - 200 of 202 matches
