More info RE: KA650 & uVAX

Greetings.. I have had TK's in all sorts of enclosures- my uVAX II's TK-50 has been installed in a pc-type drive case, and is currently living in a boardless DECmate III chassis. The power connector is very standard to my knowledge. I did lose a tk-50 beforehand, though, due to improper insulation between the PCB on the drive and the metal of the box it was installed in. I agree with the cardboard solution- Whenever I mount drives of any type that I don't have many of I always either cover the bare metal case with contact paper or a piece of carboard or something non-conductive. The one that I lost came from a failed machine, and had been sitting around on a friend's dirty workbench for a while. I didn't clean it quite good enough, and a piece of tiny wire had fallen where it shouldn't have. My uVAX 3500 also has had it's tk-70 running on a variety of power sources, and I've always hooked it up to a standard drive power connector. Greg Linder fluke(a)mcs.net
