Just to see if it worked, I showed up at SSI and

planned to spin up the pack I have to see if the drive was good. There
was a terminator on the OUT port of the drive, and nothing on the IN. I
haven't attached it to either PDP yet (I will be this weekend!). I got an
error light. So I pulled the manual I have for it, and it's not a diag manual,
just a user manual. It says one reason is a loss of clock. Does that clock
come from the host computer, or should I be able to spin it up without a host?

Sorry, but nope. The clock is supplied by the interface card in the host
computer. The drive won't spin up without it...
