My 11 came with a 3 4-port serial cards. They are
M8043 boards. I
can't see myself using that many serial ports. Does anybody have the
little blank steel plates to put in a BA23 chassis so I can remove the
plates that have the 4 db25 connectors?
Yup, send me your snail mail address.
I'll send you a private email as well.
Also, I need the plate that fits into the space
below the serial ports.
It looks to be slightly larger than a centronics 50 SCSI connector.
Got that too :-)
Good :-)
ECC is better than parity, it actually fixes problems
it detects.
Okay, thats what I thought, but wasn't sure.
One of my parity boards says "Mos RAM"
What us that?
Memory made out of integrated circuits (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) versus
"CORE RAM" which would be memory made out of magnetic cores.
Oh I see. Okay, this computer is of a caliber, and old enough, so that
MOS memory wasn't taken for granted, like it is now. This would be like
some of my old audio equipment that boasts of its transistors :-)
I've got the bezel too but it won't help you
unless you find someone to get
you the latches that it attaches to (I do not have an extra of those). They
have two heavy duty velcro circles on them. Also the BA23 in the rack sits
in a "tray" that mounts to the rack. If you do decide to actually rack
mount it you will need one of those too.
Oh, I didn't know that. Do you know of any pictures on-line?
I have been kicking around the idea of buying a rack, actaully. Does
the BA213 take anything special to convert to rackmount? Does it use a
different bezel, or no bezel at all? I figured if I did buy a rack, I
would put the 3400 in as well.
