Dang, guess I should get off my duff and upright my 3100. It's been on it's
side for a couple years since the roller base had broken wheel mounts and
my attempt at a repair just left the bottom of the chassis deformed as too
much weight got concentrated where I attached castors.

The recent discussion on BSC protocol prompted me
to dig out my Microvax
3100
with DSH32 synchronous serial interface. It had been idle in storage for
several years and it wouldn't power up, only giving a brief flash on the
diagnostic LEDs and a quick twitch of the fans. There was a slight
smell,
like
the stale air that comes out of a deflating tyre.

Oh hells, thanks for the heads-up. I've got quite a few of those that have
also been in storage for several years. Time to add them to 'The List'
