I'm also looking for a printset but I'm Stateside. Also any other 11/730
documentation whatsoever is on my need-to-have list, both technical and
sales info.
I want to restore my machine to a complete, working condition. It lacks
several parts, a few of which are the DD11-DK Unibus expansion backplane,
Ethernet card (optional) plus several miscellaneous parts and fasteners. I
have to make a precise list yet. Mass storage devices were external on this
particular machine. I have to check for sure, but in one of the extra 10.5"
BA11 boxes I have in the pile, there may be a DD11-DK that I can swipe.
Any way to get the 11/780 boot tape and diagnostics and such on TU58 tapes?
Actually, any TU58 blank tapes still even sold?
The normal 730 system is shown in the VAX 11 Handbook as having an R80
drive in the same 40" rack. I could either get an R80, remove the front
door and install it or try some other type of device. Ideal thing would be
to find a SCSI card and hang a modern hard disk and a tape drive onto it to
make a lighter, more compact system (God knows I need it around here!) But
it'll take awhile to find a SCSI i/f module I bet.
Thanks for the help, Chris
