I should have been a little more specific with my
description. I have the
peripheral boards sitting around me and am just playing with one at a time
for fun. I do have a bootable system already, but I'm just playing with
them for the fun/experience...
OK, I'm still a little confused. Do you have Boot ROMs in the system, or
even when it's put together in the 'bootable order', do you still have to
type in the bootstrap?
I double checked to make sure that they had unique
CSR
assignments...besides the SLU, will the system expect any of the
peripherals to have standard addresses/vectors?
The bootstrap expects to be seeing the controller at a specific address.
I believe a MSCP disk should be at 1772150 for the first controller (I'm not
at home, so this is from memory, and my memory stinks).
I'll try to push the bootstrap via serial tonight,
though I'm using a WYSE
60 and it's pretty easy to type it out.
I've typed the TMSCP bootstrap a few to many times for my taste. Though now
I have a board in the system that included TMSCP support. This is the only
reason I'd use a PC as a console.
Side note: does anyone know how to send a plain LF
with a WYSE 60, without
changing the personality to a different terminal? My setup cycles through
like this for assigning the Enter key: CR...CRLF...CR...TAB...I got around
it last night by switching personalities to one of the DG modes.
I'm afraid I don't. My personal recommendation is get a DEC terminal, but
then I've got anywhere from a dislike to downright hatred for non-DEC
terminals.
