Well - that confirms the PSU question. I don't know what a "panel box" might
be, but it was possible to hook an older ONMIBUS cabinet to an -8/a with a
pair of cables that superficially resembled UNIBUS cables.
Want to sell the RK8E? I have a couple of drives, but I'd need at least one
16-sector pack, preferably a couple. I don't really need any hex-height
OMNIBUS core; I've got a KT8-A and a 128Kw MOS board. I'm still looking for
a programmers console, BTW.
