I just bought a PDP 11/73, but
unfortunately UPS dropped it
on the way. So I am trying to
what ever documentation and
diagnostics that I can locate
to figure out how badly it was
damaged.
The mounts for the tape drive and
disk drive were broken as well as
all of the external plastic.
The machine powers up and goes through
some self diagnostics, stopping with the
LED's reading "01". The disk drive stays
quite and unlit, my conclusion was that it
appears dead.
I am looking for any help that I can get.
TIA,
Dave Chu
