I'm looking for a manual for the Koby Electronics HS300-01 p/s.
Has anyone ever heard of this power supply, much less have a manual for
it?
If so, please reply to me directly <sellam(a)vintage.org>.
Thanks!

Subject: VAX 4000/200
I am actively looking for a working DEC VAX 4000/200 with Open VMS,
drives,
SCSI capable and in good repair. It will be used to support an existing
VAX
in our system. If anyone has one or can tell me where to find one, I
would
appreciate it very much.

How do you mean "support"?
Is this going to be "up on blocks" or are you going to cluster or
just use as a contingency system?

I did it on my 11/23B. I copied them to RD52s (quantum D540) as they
are the most rugged drive I know and I had 8 of them free. That's enough
to hold 24 RL02s and be bootable with RT-11. For safety the most
important ones are duplicates (used two RD52s as images of each other).
Testing so far says RD52s have a shelf life of not less than 12 years.

Hmm...I believe I know that guy. ;)

OK, I just found online and purchased the following books:
Programming with RT-11 Vol. 1 Program Development
by Clinch, Simon & Stephen Peters
Programming with RT-11. Vol. 2 Callable System
by Peters, Stephen, et al.
Working with RT-11
y Beaumont, David, et al.
Tailoring RT-11. System Management and Programming Facilitie
by Clinch, Simon, et al.
Now I'm wondering if there are any other books on RT-11 available (besides
the actual doc sets) and if these books were worth getting?

I have used an RLV12 in a uVAX-II (in a BA-23 upgraded by DEC from uVAX-I
to uVAX-II, just for painful accuracy). It's one of my favorite ways of
migrating smallish amounts of data between DEC boxes not on the same
wires (site-to-site moves), at least it was back in the days of 1200 baud
dial-up. Never underestimate the bandwidth of a VW Beetle with a backseat
full of 10Mb removable cartridges.

Good plan. Eventually, I plan to do something similar. My problem
at the moment is a lack of happy RD54s in my BA123. I'm about to
stick a KDA-50 in that puppy and fire up my MBA ESDI<->SDI box that
happens to have a couple of 1.2Gb 5.25" disks in it. If that doesn't
do it, there's an RA-81 in the same rack as the MBA box, but I'd rather
not heat my house with it.

Sigh, just thought I would relate a tail of woe, not sure what happened but
if someone has something to try I'm open to it.
I've got a DEC VAX 4000/60 that I've been running VMS on lately. I shut it
down and took it apart to take pictures of it for the "House of VAX" pages.
I carefully re-assembled it and when I turned it on again it wasn't working.
The failure mode was "all lights on" which on the VAX generally means that
it didn't get through the basic system integrity tests. Yikes! I turned if
off, carefully re-checked my assembly and verified everything was correct.
Tried re-seating a few of the connected bits (lights & switches, frame
buffer, etc) and nada, zip, same dead machine.
One person suggested that the PSU might be misaligned, I verified that this
was not the case. I verified that the PSU voltages are all correct, and
replaced the PSU to be sure that I had a good power supply. Then I tested
the old one and it works fine (well I can draw a couple of amps out of all
the voltages and they stay solid).
Then I took the memory and verified in another vax that it was still ok. It
was.
Then verified the frame buffer and scsi drives.
Everything still works, just the mainboard refuses to do anything. Does
anyone have the pinout on the VAX chips on the board? I could check for
clock I suppose and see if the oscillator can took a dump, but beyond that
I'm stuck. Since nothing else seemed to die I can't imagine what fault
would cause these symptoms. I even reset the NVRAM in an effort to verify
that it hadn't been corrupted somehow.
Very strange, any clues or other avenues to explore would be appreciated.

AFAIK, "n'est pas".
