Well, the easiest way to find the +5v rail is to look on the motherboard
for a ttl chip in the 74xxx range and lookup the datasheet to find its
vcc pin. a simple continuity test would give you the pin on the PSU. as
5v is one of the heavier loaded suply rails, you can put your dummyload
on there

Does anyone have the pinouts for the DECmate II power

two PSU model numbers that I have are H7842A and H7842B, but I'd like
to know their pinouts in order to properly connect a load (or loads)
to them for "smoke testing" away from the computers themselves. They
are both 220W supplies according to their labels. (These PSUs may
have also been used in the DEC Rainbow.)
Does anyone, by chance, have the schematic(s) for these power
supplies? Other than close inspection for bulging/leaking capacitors
or obviously burnt/damaged components or areas on the PCB, what should
I look for to increase my chances of not allowing the smoke to escape?
(Also, I recently found a "vintage computer" discussion site where
they were trying to collect, preserve, & make *usable* images of any
DEC microfiche sets they could get. One guy said that he had a fiche
set that included the DECmate II. None of these fiche sets are
on-line yet as far as I can tell.)
Thanks,
