I believe that I am well on my way to being able to build a fairly substantial operating 11/44 museum piece. I was able to open up the three RA81s and inspect them. Luckily their heads had all been locked in place. Unfortunately, the belt release on all were still set in "tension." Hopefully this will be a minor issue. I powered up the RA81s, all power up and start spinning the platters. I have not allowed any of them to rotate fast enough to load the heads though - I want to do a good cleaning first and get them situated in their cabinets. The three RL02s also all accept power and come on. However, they all illuminate their fault light when power is applied. I cannot remember if RL02s will do this when not connected to their controller - anyone? Finally, I have two 1MB Standard Memories memory boards, a 256K Standard Memories board, 2 DEC 256K memory boards, 1 DEC 1MB memory board, and 1 512K National Semiconductor memory board (see below). All these are 11/44 memories. Does anyone have CSR/etc. DIP switch settings for the Standard Memories and/or Nat. Semi boards? I can't find anything on the 'net and I have no other documentation. Thanks! greg p.s. The Nat. Semi board is a bit strange. It has an area of 16x4 TI 64K-bit chips (i.e 64x64k/8 = .5MB) and another area of 10x4 TI 64K-bit chips (i.e. .3MB). No matter what I do, I can't do the math to get this board to fit into a 256/512/1MB size. I ASSUME it's a .5MB board, but what about the extra chips?
