Looking for two DEC H445 power bricks for PDP 11/40 project

[Paul Anderson]

I'll check my system tomorrow if I can. If you are using a DEC MS11-LB or
LD or compatible, you will need a DD11CK  or DK backplane. If used in a
BA11-BF, you will Need DD11-CF or DF, which is the same as the CK/DK, but
with a longer wiring harness.

DEC made an "extension cable" to do this, but thew are not many around. Or
just replace it yourself.
