PDP 11/34a - $600 - BA11-K chassis, 248KB MOS, M7856 serial, DU686 ESDI card, DELUA network card, and Pertec controller. I'll be powering this up at the show to verify it's still working, but it lived in A/C in a bedroom on the second floor since I last turned it on in 2011 and booted

Dual 900mhz CPU, 4GB of memory, service processor card, includes rack rails. Tested working with OpenVMS 8.4. They all include at least one 36gb or 72GB hard disk. Presumably they'll take anything that's SCA80, but the sleds are special. I have 6 of these units. Let me know ahead of

Funny, there's this 11/23+ (BA11-S style) I bought from Pavl Zachary many years ago, it's been a near-constant companion through all of my moves and most of the VCF Midwests. Despite the bouncing, banging, and shuffling, it's always worked. It ran 24/7 at my home for much of its life, without

Both green LEDs are on. They're ALL on. This is a failure of the DC Power Up/Down circuit - See page 3-10 + 3-53/54 in June 83 Service Manual. If the components in this circuit (capacitor) are out of spec, then this may be the cause. Congrats on picking it up. I was tempted to bid

Need help: DSD-440 with unresponsive formatter/control board

2016-09-20 Thread Julian Wolfe
So the DSD-440 I got at VCF is completely unresponsive. All of the LEDs are on and never go out, which is bizarre - they are supposed to go out in 1/10 of a second after power on. I tried disconnecting everything but power to the card, and it still lights all LEDs. No jumpers that I

Never mind. The 11/23+ boots from a SD-IDE+IDE-SCSI adapter combo and I had inadvertently bumped the card and ejected it. Nothing's wrong. On Thu, 15 Sep 2016 21:40:01 -0700 Jerry Weiss j...@ieee.orgwrote On Sep 15, 2016, at 7:51 PM, Julian Wolfe j...@lolqb.us wrote

Hi folks, I recently acquired a DSD-440 drive and purchased its accompanying controller on ebay. The controller is configured at defaults according to the manual on Bitsavers. However, unless it is on the bus by itself after the RAM cards, it halts the CPU at location 270. Here are

I will be selling my DECdatasystem 534 and VT52 at the show. Cabinet rack, 72x24x26.11/34a, 32kW of core and A/D+D/A cards. System runs fine and drops to a console prompt, and passes all the diags I've been able to throw at it. I've restored all the foam filters and the cabinet was pressure washed
