Whilst on the subject of DEC, I'm also looking for
an ethernet card for a
PDP 11/53
If your post here doesn't get you any offers, DEQNAs often pop up on
ePay for not-too-ridiculous prices (although DELQAs are supposedly
more reliable if you can find one).
and perhaps a TK drive (assuming that if on power-up
the drive
wheel just spins continually and you can't lift the handle, the drive is
broken).
I take it this is with the load button in the "out" position? Might be
worth opening it up to check nothing's stuck, making it think a tape's
loaded when there isn't.
Cheers,
