[rescue] Need VME memory boards

[Peter Stokes]

Hi Earl

I just checked in the old Handbook and it only lists one type of Power Supply
(two part nos 300-1022 and 300-1093), ie not specifying 115V or 240V, but then
goes on to ref power supply module assembly, either 540-1384 (115V) and
540-1541 (240V).

So I suspect that the power supply may have an internal jumper to change over
for the voltages. Have you opened the 240V one up?
