I'm reconditioning some H7100A power supply units in a VAX-11/785, and I've come
across something I haven't seen before.  I'm hoping one of you has.  :)
This particular PSU was labeled 'Memory Power Supply' and has additional regulator
boards for a 15v rail.  Slipped between those boards were two sheets of what looked like
heavy-duty paper.  However, one had delaminated, demonstrating that it is a sheet of thin
copper sandwiched between two paper-like layers.  That suggests to me that this was
intended more for EMI shielding than electrical isolation.  I did not see these sheets in
another PSU that also had a supplemental regulator.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?  TIA - Ian
