    Wanted: EK-VSTAB-MG VAXstation 2000 and MicroVAX 2000 Maintenance Guide

    Vegetation is one challenge - failing infrastructure is the bigger one ... i.e. my main router developed a hard short in one of the 100+ SMD caps - was challenging to find I scanned the manual, but my scanner sometimes hicked up at the pagesize - so some pages are slightly larger There were two...

    DEC RA92 Troubleshooting
