Unrecognized DEC Power Supply in PDP-11/44 Configuration

[pbirkel at gmail.com]

Josh & Pete: Thank you for the identification.  Don't think that the unidentified quad-boards constitute a SMD controller.  I guess the SMD controller was in the second chassis and went wherever the HDD went.  Strange that the PS didn't go with it.  I can feel a bit better for not having recognized the PS :-}.

Rick:  The UDA50 is cabled up the rear of the rack to a connector-plate near the top of the rear-rails.  No photo of the plate present, but the cabling is clear on the side-photo of the rack.  So presumably there was a second rack in the original configuration ... probably also housing a vertical-mount 9" tape drive.

Yep.  Looks identical to the Fujitsu PSU in my 11/40 rack, and the rails are the same as my Fujitsu rails.
