Dontcha just
hate it when this happens? Here I am happily working away on
an 8/E chassis with boards scavenged far and wide to get it up and running.
In the course of which I'm using boards out of my 8/M that works find to
replace questionable boards to reduce the number of variables in the
equation. So the 8/E (with an 8/F front panel) is all up and running with
my hodge podge of boards and I reassemble the 8/M, turn it on and the 'RUN'
LED is stuck on. No response from the front panel halt switch state.
Hey, DEC field service lives on. ;)
Sorry to our former or current DECy Techies, but I am reminded of the old joke:
How long does it take a DEC field service person to change a flat tire?
Depends on how many flat tires they brought with them.
