Started prepping the Microdata for restoration
tonight. The cpu, mag tape,
and front panel are in very good condition. The power supply - not so much.
It was apparently a long term home for mice. I don't see any chewed wiring -
suprising - but their leavings induced a lot of corrosion and rust. I'm gonna
bet those batteries aren't holding a charge. No power applied yet, going to
go through the power supply with a fine tooth comb first.
That's a nice machine Jay. I hope you've got software for it! Let me
know when you're done - I'll show you how to hook it up for telnet-in. ;)
I'll ask on the MV list I'm on whether or not someone has more info or
schematics on the machine.
