What backplane do you have? For example you might have one of the DEC
backplanes below:
hi glen, a little inventory:
# 11/23 BA23 Box S/N AG07072
-in there is a H786 Rev.C PSU - after quick measurements it's clear that
this PSU needs some work
-H9273 11/03L Rev.B Backplane is installed
-Cardcage is not bent but needs some of this plastic-PCB-guides, many are
broken due to age.
-Frontpanel is complete, nice signs of use
-Distribution Panel is missing
# M8189 11/23 KDF11-B CPU Module. S/N 5014316C
# M8067 256 KW Memory Quad-width module
# M8043 Quad Serial Board
# 3rd Party "Fourth Generation Systems LS-256" 256 KB Memory Module (Dual
width)
# M8061 RLV 12 RL01/02 Controller
# M7516 DELQA Controller
-70-21202-01 Cable Assembly with its Distribution Panel attached
-D-Link DL583 RJ45 Ethernet Transceiver
If you have a BA23 box it should have the distribution
panel for an
M7555 RQDX3 so then all you need is to find an M7555 plus the cables,
which shouldn't be too hard to find, to use your RX50 and/or RD5x
drives.
The Distribution Panel is absent, but it should not be too hard to
substitute it with something else. I'm looking forward to fin a M7555, they
seem to be quite common. But first I have to repair the PSU and check
everything.
