Forgive the delay in writing about this. I had the
EXACT same problem
with RXO2 mounted on top of an RL02 drive on y PDP 11/34A. At the time,
my suspicion was that the gigantic transformer in the power supply of
That's a ferroresonat transformer IIRC (why, I have no idea, there are
conventioal electronic regulator circuits in the PSU too). There could be
considerable stray field from that.
I still suspect the spindle motors of the RC02 first, but I've got no
real evidence for that.
Jay, can you rearrange the items in your rack to move the RX02 and RL02
apart?
