My PDP11/05 has a faulty control board - M7261. The deposit function doesn't work.
I've traced it back, and I'm pretty sure it's a fault in one of the microcode
PROMs. While I'm sure this is fixable, I would like to see this machine do something
else, so I figure I'd check if anyone happens to have a spare board before I spend
many more hours trying to fix this.

Hi Ian,
I have one in a box (untested) on my project list. If you just need to
borrow one for a while you can use it for the cost of shipping. I even know
where it is!!!
Thanks, Paul

I do have spares. Unfortunately due to the move, they're at the "other"
location and I don't have time to hunt for it (moving the "big" stuff this
weekend). I might be able to dig them out in July when I'll be up there for a week or
so.
