2:17 p.m.
one has a board pair M7164/M7165 connected by short
cables
across the top.
M7164/M7165 is the KDA50 SDI controller, not SCSI. So here are some "skunk box" questions:
What type of backplane is this? Looks almost like it is Q/CD all the way
across.
Yep, you got it!
There is an ethernet interface in one called a DESQA
any good? Seems like a
follow on to the DEQNA as it has both 10B2 and AUI ports on it. The other
two chassis both had DELQA's in them.
The DESQA is skunk box version of the DELQA.
so that answers that question, and by careful
disassembly I can see that
the connectors are correct in terms of how I plugged them, so the only
question is if the fault was a board short or if the power connector is
non-standard. Anyone?
It's a perfectly standard connector. The components near the connector
are, in this case, probably nothing fancier than some electrolytics
for bypassing. Is this reasonable? My TK70's are currently in running
systems, and my customers would get angry if I started pulling them
apart this time of night :-)
