Subject: Re: MicroVAX I
There's one of two harnesses under the air diverter in the
drive-bay area...
The old ones have press-to-fit contacts and the body of the connectors are
made from an amber resin. The newer ones are crimp-ons and are in a white
nylon-like shell. The older ones can't take the current the uVAX draws,
and begin to oxidize. Oxidation causes resistance which causes heat...
Ah, right. I've only ever seen the later type shell in my travels so I'll
make sure to check when I get the beast.
cheers!
