Accompolishments:

1) An Optimum 5/10 was built and configured for maximum operation, the goal
being to reproduce problems as seen by NBI's Product Test group. The unit 
contained a CPU, 3 1/4 Mbytes memory, RL101 disk controller, Ethernet, 16-
channnel DH controller, Centronics printer controller, Q-bus-to-QIC 2 
controller, and two Maxtor 140 Mbyte disk drives. Timeall was run for 24
hours at an AC line voltage of 90 VAC. No problems were encountered. AC
margin testing was performed and the unit failed at 67VAC !! According to
NBI, their unit was failing at 100VAC. They might have a bad supply in their
unit.

2) Components have been acquired and sent to NBI to correct the injected line
noise problem.

3) Northen Telecom has been contacted in regards to their drives not meeting 
our ESD requirements. The first drive with a plastic insulating shield on 
their shield plate should be here 11/22/85 per Dick Gibson.

4) An ECO has been written to upgrade the 5/10 AC harness to comply with 
U.L. requirements (proper sized quick disconnects).

5) Key drawings for the 5/10 AC/DC wire harness were finally found in the 
drafting and documentation dept.

6) Assistance is being given to the materials group to create the AVL 
required by U.L.

7) A training session has been scheduled for the purchasing personel. They
will be informed about U.L. material requirements and their role in getting
Integrated Solutions to pass the factory inspection.

8) I have scheduled two trips for myself to NBI. During 11/14 to 11/20 I
will do whatever is necessary to make sure we know how to build a unit which
will pass all of NBI's tests as well as the C.S.A. and U.L. stability tests.
During 12/2 to 12/7 I will write the U.L. descriptive report for the Optimum
5/10 and hopefully will start on the C.S.A. descriptive report.
