There you go... the ST-251 requires no jumpers or funny stuff (except

Thanks. I need to go get a copy... I've mostly been formatting disks
in a BA-23 with a uVAX-II processor - takes forever to boot the TK50.
I'd love to be able to bring up a floppy-based formatter under any
processor. I have several quad-height KDF11 boards (just add RAM
and a disk controller) and one quad-height KDJ11 board formerly in
a communication board, now with new ROMs. All I have to do is drill
off the new-style handle and put an old one on so it fits in the boxes
I have (my newest Qbus box is a BA-123; got no BA-213s and the like)
If you can
locate an ST251 (40Mb) and the Field Service formatter, you can turn
it into an RD33... not the fastest drive for the box, but it is
somewhat widely available for an MFM drive.
I have a VAXstation 2000... Is the PSU
really dead or did the harness fry?
The PSU is dead. I know about the fire
catching wires and they where not
the problem.
