- It's not an MU, it's an MS. That means it isn't bootable for VMS or any other
- DEC software, for that matter (although 4.xBSD should be bootable).
-
- It's 1600 only.

- Open the RA81's logic case (top hatch). There's a DB25 connector in there.
- Set a terminal to 300 baud. Power on the drive with both A and B port but-
- tons out. Connect the terminal to the DB25. Hit RUN and watch the display.
- You'll get an output of the most likely FRU as well as some fault data. If
- it happens to come up OK, type ^C and then RUN DIAG at the prompt. Forward
- the results to me via mail and I'll tell you what's wrong.
-
- Note: the drive will probably fail to power up if the terminal is connected
- when power is applied.
