The ``left-'' or ``top-'' most five -> lines (5V) and pins 8-10 (COM) got hot enough to melt the phenolic -> plastic connectors right to the pins. Owch! I believe there was an FCO about 3 years ago on this... we had it done to all of ours, and yes, some of them had gotten a little toasty. From what I remember, The harness was built by a 3rd party for DEC and was not up to spec. -- Steve. sfreed@ariel.unm.edu
