Upon the date 22:44 19-04-05, Ethan Dicks said something like:
Ohhhh, I would like a copy of any 11/730 docs you may find!
The only things on bitsavers is a field maint printset for the assembly of
a variant of the 730 called the Config. Pkg 76. Has a few useful bits in
there on the mechanicals and cable connections but no schemas or suchlike.
Also there is a 107 page Installation Guide which has a bunch of useful
general info including a list of documentation relative to the 11/730 found
on page 1-4.
My machine is the 11/730 SBB pictured on page 1-3. Lacking is an available
mass storage cabinet but I would like to shortcut the system size and find
a small hard disk to mount internally and an appropriate controller board
(not SCSI - I cannot afford another mortgage on this house:-\ ) which would
allow me to run VMS 5.5 that I have on hand or at least whichever one of
the *BSD versions that have been ported to the 730.
Mounting a 5 1/4" or even a 3 1/2" hard disk inside the cabinet (or even
the BA-11 itself) would be just ducky since there is very little room to
spare around this house. Who's been thinking further on an IDE/Unibus
interface over the past couple of months?? Qbus too?

I am _still_
looking for the CPU board printset... I don't think it's on
bitsavers.
Hmm... I had no idea. I have a several-inch-thick stack of prints for
the 11/730-Z (the configuration we've been discussing)... I know it
covers cable runs (which are quite intricate in that box), and it
_may_ have CPU board prints; I'll have to check.
