Thanks to all those who have responded on 50Hz vs. 60Hz
So to summarise:
1. Most PSUs are unlikely to present a problem, especially since we're going from
lower to higher frequency.
2. Tape drives are likely to run just fine.
3. Disk drives will be as expected (pulley issues) for older drives, but RL should work??
4. The big 'gotcha' appears to be ferroresonant PSUs. I knew those would be a
problem, but I must admit I didn't know DEC used them. OK, so we've been told the
RX01/02 is ferroresonant. Think carefully folks - are there any other DEC PSUs that use
ferroresonant transformers? I'm thinking mostly about logic PSUs from early
pdp-8/12/15 to later 11s - 11/34, 11/73, pdp-8a etc, but any data on peripherals which
used ferroresonants would also be welcome!
Thanks
Mike
