Electricians do not do this sort of work. They primarily pull cable
and run what amounts to plumbing and lots of physical construction.
What you're talking about is engineering.
It would likely be easier to repair the existing power supplies. Are
schematics around?

That usually happens when NML is not running either because was not started or
because has stopped. Given that you are using a DECnet-enabled monitor, your
SYSTAT should show something like this:
Well, r NML says "not an EXE file". This could be related.

If NML is e.g. in TO state (Terminal Output) that means that it encoutered
some error and is waiting for someone to read it and do something...
NML gets automatically started by ORION, which in turn gets started by QUASAR,
which must be listed in SYS:SYSJOB.INI:
All that is being started...but I think NML.EXE is broken. ;)

HTH,

I am alive!
I unplugged it all. Flicked all the switches and changed the trasceiver. It said something about the SQE being off for connection to a dte and on for a repeating. So i turned it on, and its all going!!
Now DECnet, but first sleep :)

Daniel.

Look through the system startup for a MOUNT command that would attempt to

$ SEARCH SYS$STARTUP:*.COM ESP_DATA
When you find that, edit the procedure and comment out the MOUNT.

Well I speak to machines with the voice of humanity.
A 340 is nice. The 330 is pretty much the same, except for being monochrome.
The problem with the 340 is that the power supply have a tendency of blowing up with age. (I have two broken ones...)
Can they be replaced with anything sensible, i.e. could a qualified electrician build a new one for not too much effort?
