Re: Multia hardware problems

Vivianne,

Not to step on anyone's toes (and apologies in advance if I have) but 
you may have better luck on a forum dedicated to retrocomputing such as 
VCFED, I am unsure how many on the list would be able to help but there 
is a very active DEC subforum on VCFED that should be able to get you 
the information you need.
