Subject: RE: MicroVAX II - TK50 problem
Whether you need to cut stuff or not depends on what lives where.
If you have a board in the following CD slot and you do not
remove the jumper or perform the appropriate surgery, then
you will be feeding signals to that board which may upset it.
If the adjacent CD slot is empty, then I don't think you need
worry about anything.
This is perhaps why I've not nuked anything else on our test VAXen when I've
been sorting out RA7x disks with an un-modded KDA50. It was only last week
that I discovered I'm supposed to remove the 2 grant 'jumpers' before
installing in a Q22/CD backplane. Fortunately it seems like I've not nuked
the card that was downstream of the KDA50 in this case :)
