that, I was considering moving a VAX 6000 to my garage,
somehow, and... I remember an extensive discussion a while
back about getting Gunther's and perhaps other peoples VAXen
to work on house power.
Can someone supply a summary of how do do so? A pointer to
an "eureka" email would suffice if one exists since I have a pretty
good classiccmp archive here.
All you do is to hook the two live leads from the dryer plug to the three
live terminals on the 3-phase plug on the VAX. What I mean is that you
hook phase 1 live and phase 3 live to one live leg of the dryer plug, and
phase 2 to the other live leg. Then you hook neutral to neutral, ground
to ground, and plug it in. Then you're good to go.
