I have a very slightly hacked version of the V7 tar, which runs under Windows

Scratch that--it helps if what you're working with is actually a .tar file.

It might be possible to identify it a bit. Using the Diode Test of your
basic multi-meter you can probably figure out if th

Hi
Out of curiousity, since I now have a DEC PRO380. Was there any third
party manufacturer of CTI expansion boards?

Pontus.
I spent some time today and made a video of my MP 3000 system booting up
to z/OS. The video is here: http://youtu.be/WnJmeQR0GQU.
Even though the video is about 9-1/2 minutes long, it takes longer than
that to boot. I edited out some of the more boring bits. ;-)
