You can always solder a jumper back in place.
But a 3-in-1 (wrap, unwrap, strip) wirewrapping tool is not that expensive
(say about $25, I think), and is almost essential if you work on DEC
backplanes (or on a lot of other computer hardware). I'd recomend buying
one.
For some crazy reason DEC fitted the CA1-CB1 jumper before they put the
other wires on those pins. So you have to cut it - you can't unwrap the
old jumper, alas.
Absolutely.
The wire in question is between pins CA1 and CB1 on the _same_
slot - the slot the control cart of the UDA50 is in. It's a little loop of
wire, and is quite difficult to find the first time.
Okay... I'll give it a shot! But if I foul up, I'm stuck - I don't have
a wirewrap tool. Thanks!
