DEC RP06 power

I've recently acquired an RP06 as part of a PDP-11/44 system, and I wish
to run it (why not?) I remember reading on this list a while back, that
it could be operated on single-phase power instead of three-phase. I got
a printset along with the drive, and it's pretty unclear about what would
use the three-phase- it's almost like the third phase is ignored, the 208v
between the first two phases is fed to the transformer, and the primary is
sort-of center tapped to feed the 115 volt fans. Is this right? How
would I go about feeding it single-phase if that isn't right?

While we're on the subject of three-phase, a couple of weeks ago Bill
Bradford asked about re-wiring a VAX 6000 for single-phase. I never saw
any response. Anything new from anybody?

(I really need to get three-phase in my house)
