I could use some help with what seems to be a BAD
power
supply. For the past month, I started to experience more
and more frequent crashes of the system. About 2 weeks
ago, I figured that it seemed to be the power supply and
I started to use an external power supply for the 3 hard
disk drives. That solved the problem and a few days ago,
I replaced the internal power supply so that now the 3 hard
drives are back on the new internal power supply with the
rest of the system (and it is now very quiet again since the
external power supply had a noisy fan!).
Jerome,
Is this on your PC or on your PDP-11? If it was on the PC, just toss
the powersupply. It's not worth the effort.
