So, I have lately been using PDP11GUI to retrieve images of RK05 disk packs and
to write images to these packs on a PDP-11. This is awesome, but its a bit
frustrating that it takes a couple hours to read or write an image this way.
I do, however, have a couple of DR11-C parallel interface cards

Hi all
I try and boot up most of the working systems I’ve got at least 2-3 times a
year, and on a recent boot up of a Cambridge Workstation, I got the dreaded
smoke.
The system works fine, but the PSU is clearly stressed. The PSU is a ‘VMS
