Yeah!   It smoked the   VAX II! It could've been user error...but how
the hell could I plug the breakout in wrong and have it smoke?!

Starting to think the backplane mayyyyy be wonky.


Oh. it's just 18-bit.   It has a copyright date of March 1977.

NETCOM HV-1148.

Oh, THAT box!   Shit, one doesn't take an 11/03 and shove a MicroVAX in
it.   Sure, it's Qbus, but there's a decade between them, man!


I didn't know it was /that/ old!   I thought it was a newer box just with an 11/03 in it!

To be honest...the linear supply should've given it away.

Now...I DO need a Q22 box.   That leaves me a custom-made BA23 enclosure or a BA123.
