TK70 resolution

I disassembled enough of the VAX3800 to get to the TK70 and pulled it out. The maintenence logs were stuck into the top part of the cabinet behind it and apparently this TK70 was replaced in August of 1995. It also had the skid plate attached so it was a simple operation to slip it into the BA123 I've got. The skid plate had a plastic insulator on it between the skid plate and the drive so it looks like the skid plate has to be insulated on these drives. I'm guessing that somewhere in the manual it says: "MUST BE INSULATED, OTHERWISE A SMALL FIRE WILL BREAK OUT NEAR THE POWER CONNECTOR AND SMELL REALLY WEIRD." :-) Its running in the uVaxIII now with no worries. After its had a few hours on it I'll "upgrade" again to the KA655. On an unrelated note, I've got a couple of KFQSA DSSI controllers now, are they usable in a Q/Q backplane? Their CD fingers appear to only touch power and the DMA grant lines (backside of the C connector) --Chuck
