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

[Henk Gooijen]

Hi Pierre,



Just to give you an idea, I will go to my museum either on Wednesday or on Saturday.



Till then,

Henk

As I don't have core memory modules available, I thought of using MS11 memory,
which, according to my research, seems to be an option for 11/40 systems.
The system manual states on page 6-7 that the base power configuration consists
of two H745 regulators and that one may be swapped with a H754 in case MF11-U
memory is used.
Does that mean that a single H745 regulator might be sufficient for my needs?

All the best,
Pierre
