hard to find a bare Omnibus backplane block. The original PSU might
be a bit tougher, but except for classic purity, there's nothing
wrong with coming up with a modern PSU for it. Not sure why there's a
10A fuse for -15V. I totally believe the 1.5A for +15V, but I don't
know what peripherals draw that much current at -15V, unless it's part
of the core memory requirements. M-series logic is mostly TTL and
mostly +5V.
I don't know how much current it needs, but a quick check in the
PDP8/e printset shows that that the core memory does use the
-15V supply rail.
