Anyway: I got an offer for a RL11. So I can get the
machine up with my
RL02. - If the actual machine is OK. I still have to check the 11/34a
The RL11 is an NPR (DAM to the rest of the world) device, so when you
install it, uou have to cut the jumper between pisn CA1 and CB1 on the
backplane. If you dont uyou get soem very odd problems (although the
magic smoke stays in the ICs...)
CPU. If the CPU and RAM doesn't work I have more
serious problems then
the disk!
I don't think so. The CPU and memroy boards use standard ICs. OK, many of
them are no logner made, but they are not hard to find. And you don't
need special alignment tools to repalce them :-). I think a logic fault
is a lot easier to fix than a headcrash.
