.dtx files IIRC were created by Tex and Latex which fit in with rsx11 and DEC

Chances are good if it is 86, then there'd be a pro port... these were
reported extensively in the trade
The file list says they were created in the 1986 time frame.

I know what's in the files, that's easy. What I don't know is what
created/used them.

Yes the chopper did blow up and I have since replaced it. So hopefully this is
the last part that needs to be replaced!

Before I confuse matters too much I should point out that I was not using the
Rainbow power switch unit but one from a DECmate. I had erroneously thought
there was a fault with the Rainbow one. I think the fan supply may be different

Thanks Tony. I removed the mains bridge rectifier and found it measured short
across two of its terminals, so I am ordering a replacement. I tested the PSU,
without the mains bridge rectifier and without the diodes on the output of the

I checked the output of the startup transformer. On the bad PSU this was
about 2.4VAC, while on the working one it was about 12VAC. I lifted all 4 of

Hello,
It has taken me ages to get back to this, but I think I have hit an
insurmountable problem.
I reassembled the PSU after the PWM started working again and tested it with
a dummy load and using two 100W light bulbs in series on the input side to
limit the current. However, it did not work.

I do not understand your overbearing attitude of helplessness toward this

Still trying to make sense of this thing.
The problem is that one very important thing is missing. I refer to
DODUMENTATION. I don't fall for this modern rubbish that a product
with a thin manual is easy to use. No, the thicker the manual the
better. It will probablt answr my questions. But the
