I *finally* had enough time to write the manual for the UA11 Unibus
Analyzer, so it's now available for sale. Go to
http://www.shiresoft.com/products & http://www.shiresoft.com/docs for
more information.
I now use it almost exclusively for debugging problems and getting
systems to work. I only pull out the 'scope or LA if the problem isn't
observable on the Unibus. (sorry, hopeless plug.)

Just to let those "early adopters" out there know, I just updated the
docs to fix a stupid mistake. So you'll want to re-download the
manual. It's dated today and version 1.0A.

Won't have time to look at the updated manual until later - but here's a
couple of things I found:
Pg 9 Mispelling "hight" - height
Pg 7 Second item 10nf should be 10 pf?
Pg 12 You might want to define which vias can be used (although anyone
building this board can probably figure it out).

Nope, nf = nano-farad.

(although anyone

I thought about that...maybe next rev. :-)

New subject: Looking for a Sharp EL-546 calculator
I've got one that I love (and have had 20 years), but would like a second
one to replace my EL-506 which is flaking worse and worse.
Anyone have one they'd like to sell? Or trade for a flakey EL-506? Just
the thing to complete one's collection...

Is it keypad problems?
My trusty EL-525 gets into a mood every few years requiring me to take
it apart and clean the key contacts ... I've always been able to bring it
back to full health.
Another odd problem with the Sharps is the LCD display goes faint ... and
a sharp tap on the back of the machine bring it back - The two that I have
both suffer from it, and I've seen it on several others. Probably a design
issue with the mechanical mounting of the LCD.

Hi Dave,
I'm not sure what the problem is. It acts like the battery is going dead
(locks up, spurious resets, screen goes blank) but I've replaced them and
it doesn't help. After I get a replacement I'll look into repairing it.
