So need hi res scans of catalogs brochures etc showing them all

We had an early IBM pc for a whilebut never this many add on boxes!

Ah, thanks for that. Starting to look at the code, I had missed the

So does DEC do anything with track 0, or is it always just empty?

Hi folks,
I've got my VAX3800 resuscitated after many years in limbo and two of the
four RF71s in there have gone bad. Has anyone tried swapping the controller
boards between drives? Is it just a matter of letting the drive
auto-calibrate or do I need to SET HOST onto the controller and tell it it

Ian,
Sorry I took so long to respond, I have been out of town. I designed a plug in
board to upgrade the ROM slot to an EPROM but a quick look did not tune up any
extras.
I am going to do a serious downsizing my collection and maybe we can work
something out.
