There is a youtube video showing some of the testing...

If you know where to find the printset for the 350 then please let me know.
In the absence of a printset i have been reverse engineering the schematic to
work out the cause of the resets, i am just having trouble tracing one possible
path, and i am away all week so can't look again until the wee
Looking at Ebay it seems old RS/6000 have become expensive...
A Working 7012-390 is certainly rare, they were finicky beasts. I have a
7012-3AT (very similar to the 390) and it's failing diag in weird ways.
I've seen a few 390/3AT/3BT/3CT and all of them had similar issues.

Well, then. Time to put these drives in an enclosure to check them out.

Hello,
I have a complete set of Dec Orange Volumes for RT-11 and RSX11-M
I am in the Baltimore Maryland Area.
Bring a 12 pack of something nice to drink (Craft Beer Since I Am A
Snob) and its all yours. Its a lot of documentation and its all in
really decent shape.

For those not in the know, orange binders for RT-11 should mean v5.x. An
probably v4.x for RSX11M. Definitely a great pile of documentation for someone
that is close enough!

Fran,
If you want to bring them to system source this weekend I can take them and
hold for someone else to have. We're having a workshop there on Sunday.
Contact me through vintagecomputer.net/contact.cfm Or maybe Sunday someone
can pop over then from the workshop.

Hello,
as other said, there's always demand for old disks, specially if working.
The Micropolis are prone to death due to rubber of the head arm going to
goo over time... but it can be repaired with some effort.
I myself would take some of these disks for shipment, if you are in EU.
Thanks

Haven't these DEC manual wall sets been scanned more than once, and
are available as PDFs?

Yes, but it's nice to have them on the shelf too, much easier to reference
if you use them occasionally :-)

Since RS6K systems have been mentioned recently, I thought I should ask
for advice. I have a Powerserver 320H with 32MB of RAM, an 8-port async
EIA-232 adapter, a SCSI adapter and a 400MB HD. No framebuffer or
keyboard; no LAN card. Because of the last issue, I haven't tried to do
