Actually, I can point to a number of counter-examples of that... Anyway, I'm simply going to keep the cables in the machine in case I want to do it at a later time... I have so many other things to do with the machine to get it running first... They might be useful at some point... but not yet (I haven't even found my VT11 boardset, if I have one). Again, problem is moot until I have more of the required pieces... I'll keep you in mind for the other info though at some point... I haven't opened mine up yet to see what I have... if you can easily get to yours, it might help to have info on board order, and UNIBUS connection point... (I take it a terminator has to be in the LPS since it connects to the UNIBUS itself...) BTW - It was pointed out to me that the file containing the picture of my haul was somehow protected... I've taken care of it. Look for a trip writeup with pictures in the near future (I've got it mostly written, I just have to insert the thumbnails and links to the full pictures)...
