soldering iron so I'm not really keen to do that, especially as I don't know
I'm working on a DECpc 425SE right now and I've not been able to find
any useful documentation.
The laptop seems to work but has a BIOS password set. I suspect that if

Funny thing was DECnet was in 1983 the largest world wide network

It's probably not related but I do have EK-RWP04-MM-001. Is the RWP04
