Allison beat me to it, or I'd ask. I have several uVAX-2000's and only
one of the converters.
While we're on this, does anyone else have a problem with broken jack
screws on these? Mine came with the threads busted off inside the
motherboard, and it's not the only one I've seen in that condition.

I was looking through my junque box for a cable and found a little
device I have no use for, but thought someone here might. It came,
if memory serves, from a uVAX 2000. Has a 15-pin D-shell and 9-pin
D-shell on one end, both female, and three female MMJ connectors on
the other. There's a label that looks like:
P/N 70-23766
VAR 01-A1
TN EE917
I remember plugging these into the uVAX to get three terminal ports.
Anyway, if anyone wants it, ask. Shipping only, Thing is about 3.5 in.
square by 1 in. thick, real light, so it won't be that much. Or if
you're in the Sacramento, CA, USA area, you can drop by and pick it
up.

What you have is a PDT-11/130. The tapes are TU58s, not TU60s.
The PDT series is based on the LSI-11/2 chip set. The systems
typically have a console port, printer port, async/sync comm
port and three other serial ports. They are setup so that you
can use 60 Kb of memory instead of the typical (for -11s) 56Kb
(smaller I/O page).

John,
I forgot to tell you, but if you need a PDP-11/44 User's Guide and PDP-11/44
System Technical Manual, I have both and would gladly provide them to you,
as you actually *have* an 11/44. Let me know what other manuals you need and
I'll keep my eyes out.

I've essentially given away (for $5 a crack) a couple of dozen Shugart and
Siemens Single-Sided drives after aligning and otherwise cleaning and
repairing the things that seemed necessary. When I offered these drives
here, last June, there were no takers. Apparently the packing and shipping
costs, which I'd had quoted for me at Mailboxes, etc, were too much for the
folks on the list. It's too late now, of course.

Well, I didn't feel like fighting Christmas traffic so I stole a fuse from
the /73 I'm not using at the moment, plugged in a 10BaseT transciever and
everything worked just fine.

Not a good day, was working on my PDP-11/73 this morning, FTPing some files
to it, and then I shut it down for a few hours while I worked on other
stuff. Came back finally, turned it on and the EQ.SYS wouldn't load. More
investigation shows I'd apparently smoked a Transceiver, and blown the fuse
on DECNA Cab Kit.
So did the Transceiver take out the fuse? I assume so, the three LED's are
lit on the DECNA, but what little doc's I've found on the card doesn't tell
me if that is good or bad. The transceiver definitly has a smokey smell to
it.
Now why on earth would a transciever blow? Also does anyone know what the
LED's on the DECNA mean? BTW, it was a 10Base2 Transciever, the last
10Base2 system on my home network.

I upgraded my uVAX II to a III+ (by installing a KA655 CPU and three
MS650 16M RAM boards. It passes the self test and gives me a command
prompt:
KA655-B V5.3, VMB 2.7
Performing normal system tests.
40..39..38..37..36..35..34..33..32..31..30..29..28..27..26..25..
24..23..22..21..20..19..18..17..16..15..14..13..12..11..10..09..
08..07..06..05..04..03..
Tests completed.
>>>
I can issue simple commands, although at the moment I don't have a
bootable disk. I'm trying to get set up to boot over Ethernet from
a MOP software on a Linux box.
What worries me is that if I just leave it sitting at that prompt,
after a few minutes it seems to reboot, printing the banner and running
the tests again.
Have I got a bad KA655, or is it supposed to do that?
More details are below, in case it helps. What the heck does UQSSP
stand for, anyhow?
Anyone have a spare copy of EK-KA655-TM?
Thanks!
Eric

DECNA is for the PRO3xx series...
