Anyone have manuals for DECserver 550's. I aquired two via ebay, drove about
320 miles rt for pickup.
I have one MOP loaded already but would like to find some owner/tech manuals
for reference. I have
googled and looked in Manx and other archives, but nothing seems to be
available.
I would like to convert the other to a PDP 11/53 as both have the 53+ cpu's.
As for the conversion to a PDP11,
can I use a TK70 tape drive?, most I have seen have TK50's. What cards can I
use? such as memory and disk
drives. My memory is kind of fuzzy with PDP 11's I have not done any serious
work on them for about 20 years.
I remember the first one was a 11/03 (V03?) and the last was a 11/83. OS
varied from RSTS to RSX11M+
I found the site(s) that detail the DS550 to PDP11/53 conversion, most
conversions have MFM type drives,
can I use DSSI such as a KFQSA? and what type of ethernet controller?
TIA,
Dan Snyder
