Hi Tim,
Wow Good Eye Again :-)
Yep there are markings over a couple connectors that say Aux Power And
Restart. Someone put a piece of masking tape with +5 +12 VDC as well.
So I have a mini PDP11 right here. (Reading that link however indicates its a
little short on power. Makes one's head spin as this prob predates the IBM PC
and what a different world we could have had if Digital had Bill Gates port
86-DOS to this rather than the IBM PC.
Oh wait I kinda like my Digital hardware by and large spared the indignity of
running M$ anything. :-) Bad enough the Alpha was polluted with that half
hearted Win NT port.
Another thought about the SB-11... were those
connectors on the back for
sending power to a companion TU-58 drive? Is the SB-11 the same form factor
as the external TU-58 enclosure? We never used them like that, we had
a top-bottom stacked dual 8" drive from... MTI? hooked to our SB-11.
Tim.
