Well this is the weekend that I'll try and get the PDP 11/34 running
as well as the AS400's in the garage.
Anyone who will be in the Ottawa area is welcome to come and help.
I'd like to see some signs of life before packing the magnetic media
into the basement for the winter.

Well this is the weekend that I'll try and get the
PDP 11/34 running
as well as the AS400's in the garage.
Everything is out of the rack except for one card cage. I can get it
our about half way and it tilts but I can't get it free so I can open
it up for cleaning and checking the power supply.
Any ideas?
Any documents on reassembling and cabling everything was out of the
racks except for this one cage.
Thanks

After a lot of fiddling we noticed the bar running down the side of
the rack. It didn't move or do much then noticed that it moved down
into the base, then noticed the exteneded feet and after replaing one
of the latched got it open and the top unit out enough to get the
power supply off for testing.
So to get the units out of the rack the legs on the front of the rack
must be fully exteneded!
Also noticed the Power plug for the rack looks like a 30 amp, the
other rack has a 15 amp plug. Has it been modified?
Can the unit run with 15 amp service?
