There's no problem bringing up an 11/34 on 110v AC... you can just plug
the BA11 box with the CPU to the wall (assuming you've got the US 110v
version of it all).
This thing was used at Canadian Forces Base London during the late 70s,
ending it's run in '81, from what I can tell. I have 10 or so binders
of schematics, maintenance documentation, etc. Still don't know
anything about it. :)
On an 11/34, I'd drop the top and bottom cover on
the ba11 box and check
that nothing's loose or shorted and then run a vacuum nozzle over the
boards one at a time to suck out the loose dirt.
Once I figure out what that is, I'll do it. :) I need a visual guide to
the PDP-11/34a. :)
Add serial terminal to serial port and see what
happens.
I've got a DECServer 200/MC. Can I use it with this machine?
