Yeah!! I was always wondering if they copied the
exact electrical specs of
the Dec machines or they were simple "work-a-likes" maybe software
compatible and able to run Dec software but not interchanging parts.
I only bring this up as I see a Russian Pro-350 on ebay right now:
180760525391
It's relevant to me as I picked up a Russian DEC Pro clone a couple of
years ago (almost identical to the one on Ebay now) but, unfortunately,
it won't power up. I always wondered if the Russian hard drives and
floppys might work in my DEC Pro.
I think my Russian machine may need a new power supply but with no docs
or schematics, the chances of resurrecting it or at least finding the
fault, appear to be slim and none.

Where are you lacated Tom?
I've repaired an older russian machine, an Elektronika E60
which is almost an 11/03 with a Q-Bus.
The reason why you can't use DEC Parts in there is that all the connectors
are in metric raster. The russian cards are approx an inch longer having
alomst the same width, but the connectors wouldn't fit.
(maybe it its possible to youse a dec card with an adapter that is 1 inch
long :-) )
I live in germany, if you send me the PSU I'll repair it, think there are
no schematics neccessary.

Holm
BTW: urgently searching for the 64 pin connector pinout on an Emulex CS08 since I
don't have the distribution box CP08 that should have 3 switches neccessary
to configure the unit...
