  There are two possible 3 phase configurations, one called "Delta" and one
called "Wye". In Wye the center point of the Y is neutral/earth, while in
Delta there may not be any relationship between any of the leads and neutral/
earth (depending on which country's power system you're talking about.

  Additionally, there's the "nominal" voltage of each country's system to
consider. Here in the US, regular consumer outlets are 120V nominal, and
Wye power is 208V. 240V single phase is derived from a single phase line,
with the center tap of the transformer being neutral. Thus, there's 120 V
on either side of the neutral, 180 degrees out of phase. The 208 in 3-phase
is the difference due to the 120 degree (vs. 180 degree) phase difference.

  The RM05 wants 208V, normally found between two 208 Wye legs, but can be
jumpered for 240V as in residential single phase service. The RP05/06/07 all
require 3 phase power (as opposed to the 11/70 and VAX-11/78x, which have 3-
phase plugs but only have 120V receptacles inside, between the 3 legs and
neutral.

  And yes, 3 phase motors will reverse if any two phase legs are swapped. If
you drop one leg, the motor will be far more likely to stall. It will also
turn into a nice 208 V resistance heater 8-).

still make my hands cringe with carpal tunnel syndrome.  Does DEC, or

Sorry, the CDC9766 is a two phase drive.  Two hots only.  The motor
on the RP04 was the only one I know that was three phase.

I watched one spin backwards and bang the brushes against the outer wall
at NJ Bell during an 11/70 reinstallation during my DEC Field Circus
days.

The RP05/6 and RM series used two phases and you could balance load
out quite easily by switching them in the plugs.

Trust me, it won't work.


True, we use the same etch, and now the same CPU chips in the system, however
many of the other latches, cache rams, and other things that are tailored 
to a specific clock cylcle time are different.  (look on some of the cache
rams, you'll see different speed designations)

On top of that, the jumper changes the timing in the memory controller
circuitry and lots of internal stuff in the CVMTC (CVAX Memory and Timing
Controller) gate array.

  What do you mean by "PDP11/73+"? You either have a dual-wide (KDJ11-A) mod-
ule and some boot board (probably an MXV11-B) or a quad-wide (KDJ11-B) module.
The KDJ11-B module should have all the boot code you need on it. The -A version
uses ROMs on the MXV11-B module (the MXV11-BF ROM set). The -BF ROMs have lots
more stuff than just the bootstrap - cache diagnostics, etc.

  If you just need a one-time boot, there are toggle-in boots kicking around.
Most 3rd-party tape controllers (except TMSCP) include toggle-in boots in the
manual.

Hello,
	I have a Vax 11/730 fitted with a RL02 and a R80 disk drive. I
have recently moved this system into my home and now it fails to boot. I
thought at first this was a media problem due to the move but on closer
inspection the hard disk fails its power on tests. All the front panel
light stay on and the disk does not spin up.

	After checking the connecting cables to no avail I decided to
RTFM and settled down to read the R80 disk drive user guide
(EK-00R80-UG-001) and, lo and behold, on page 2-9 I found the microcode
diagnostic checkout procedure. So armed only with a screwdriver I opened
up the powered up disk drive and set about the tests. All seems okay
until I got to step 4 which says,

	a. Set the thumbwheel switches to "22."
	b. push the ENTER switch and release. The LEDs will momentarily 
display "22" (0010 0010 binary).

	Okay so far !

	c. If no errors are encountered, the LEDs will then display
"AA" (1010 1010 binary). If any display other than "AA" is obserevd,
refer to the R80 disk drive service manual for corrective action.

	Not a sign of "AA" instead I get "53" (0101 0011 binary).

So I looked through the small stack of manuals I received with the
system and didn't find the service manual (suprise,suprise). There is
also no mention of the meaning of these codes in the user manual.

So does anybody out there know what the code "53" means ?
Is the fault fixable ?

Better still does anybody have a list of all the possible error codes ?

Many, many thanks in advance.

All RP drives are 3 phase, as is the RM05. All others are single I'm reasonably
sure. The TU/A 77/78/79 are also 3 phase I suspect...

The 60/70 only is a good guide, but not concrete. A large factory config well
could have a 3 phase power controler.

Look out for in-rush / strartup currents with some stuff, ie 70 amps/phase on
an RP07 spinning up. This can pop fuses that will be fine under running
conditions. The way the lights go OUT is a good converation piece too!!

In reply to someone who mailed...

The CDC 9766 is 3 Phase. In all disks I have seen, the motors are 3 phase, star
or delta conected, depending on local voltage ect, and the electronics are
conected from one phase to neutral. Hence, with muitiple drives you want to
rotate the phases to eliminate the neutral current.

Come to think of it, I do know of one exception, the IBM 3380 (?) has a 3 phase
spindle motor AND a single phase fan, sorry, Air Movement Device. Guess what
happens when the phases are reversed? ( By the motor-altenator being serviced
by your local friendly CE for example )

Sounds like you're linking with a shareable image that was created
with vaxcrtl.  If you are using the 3.2 version of the C compiler or above, you
can compile with  /DEFINE="CC$mixed_float" in the command line.  Then you can link
using vaxcrtl.  See the VAXC release notes for more info.

Eric

I tried e-mail, but it bounced...

We put the following lines in the file /.Xdefaults
(yes, that's "/' as in the root file system):

	XSessionManager*logoFile:       /logo.ps
	XSessionManager*logoFullScreen: true
	XSessionManager*InitializeDPS:  true

The file /logo.ps is a PostScript file.

Hope that helps.
