Hi...
now I cleaned the vaxstation II/GPX and I want to make it a runable system. I own no monitor but on the
powerconnectorside there are a lot of dsub connectors and switsches and a onedigitdisplay.
Can someone explain them and the
If I fire the vaxstation on the systemdisplay shows an A and then seemd to wait. Nothing goes on and no
harddisk is aktive. The light on the powerswistchside are in ready mode.
So bonnecting a serial cable to the CPU status connector diesn't work nd it seemd as I must make a
DEC-like cable for it.
Thanks for help.

Help....
now I powerd on my RC Partner 750 and it didn boot.
It's a CP/M86 system with harddisk and was build in daenemark by RC Computers.
Bad I have no systemdisks and it seemd as if the ccpm.sys on the harddisk is bad.
I have teledisk and if someone has a running rcpartner or the systemdisks please mail me.

I'm told by a colleague that ome of the later versions are actually
inferior to 2.x -- he said there was some problem in later versions that
made the GatorBox run out of memory after a while.

It's listed in the Hardware Manual (and mentioned no a couple of web
sites). You connect a terminal (or PC or Mac) to the serial port (VT100,
9600 baud, 8N1), set the Ethernet switch to "test", power the GatorBox, and
you should get a menu. Select the code memory test, which wipes all the
settings. However, you will need to re-install the GatorShare software
afterwards, which will require a Mac and a "download server" (could be a
TFTP server).

Thanks Ethan! Now, I've set the SCSI ID to 1. I also noticed
that the parity generation was disabled, so I enabled it.
However, when I connect the drive to another Mac, it locks
up the SCSI bus...

Hi Gang:
This morning I was sorting through a bunch of my spare Unibus cards, and
noted that I have at least half a dozen RAM boards. These are all, to my
knowledge, Unibus cards.
These are not documented in the DEC Field Guide (thanks to Megan for her
diligence in keeping it relatively current).
In the short term I'd like to find out the characteristics of these cards,
and their compatibility, in the longer term these 3rd party cards should
be added to the Guide.
Here's what I know:
1. Plessey Peripherals 705075-100 Rev B. Hex height card.
2. Standard Memories MM-140 PD Rev C4, also marked 102415-442 and stamped
"20272" in large (3/8") white letters. Also a hex card.
I have about 5 of the former, and 3-4 of the latter.
My motivation for this exercise is to find a card that I can use to swap
out the 128 KW RAM board on my (sick) 11/34A. This card is a M7891-DB, 128
KW 18 bit parity RAM.
If either of these cards are similar in config (size < 128KW is irrelevant
as I just want to see if I can get the machine to boot) then great,
otherwise at least I can label the boards, and ask Megan to add them to
the Field Guide.
Thanks,
Kevin

LOL!
But did they adopt it?

Sorry I can't help the one I have is a chicklet type. I actually had it for
about two years before I found out it was a PET keyboard.
By the way any one has a logic board, case, cassette tape, CRT and what not
for a 4 or 8k PET that they would be willing to part with? I'll pay shipping
;)

--speaking of P70s and such--
I've v3.0 running on the P70 and would recommend it. There was lots of
fixpacks for v 2.x I've never had trouble installing OS/2 on PS/2s. They
are made for each other. Probably some of the easiest installs I've had. If
you can find warp connect, install that as it's more up to date than v.3 or
at least install blue box version 3 and run as much memory as you can.
