Got it reassembled and turned the switch, the lights came on and the
voltagages tested at +-15, +5 and one at +2v
We were expecting the 15 and 5 but not the 2 is this just an artefact
of testing with the unit partially disconnected?
Found empty connectors on the M7891 and M8265 cards what would have
attached to these?
Also have a few BC11A cables for connecting the units but the main
unit seems to have all the slots filled and a terminator at the end.
There are several unidentified cards still remaining
