The
specifications clearly say that you can do this:
KDB50---->VAXbulkhead---->SA800bulkhead---->RA90
and Geoff does this
KDB50---->VAXbulkhead---->RA90.
Does he? I recall him saying that he has
an RA9x in the bottom of his 6000 but I
do not recall him stating that he used
an even number of cables to do this. AFAIK, *all* SDI cables are the same. Even never
works, odd works if everything else is right.
O.K. thanks Antonio. I appreciate strong advice. I am
sure now that it is the cabling, i.e. my fault. Today
I'm going to sort out my tons of cables and am going
to find a cable with connector or something to put
inbetween.
BTW, my one drive I tried has passed all internal tests.
The second one I tried to put into operation caused a
fuse to blow out after it sucked some dust into its
air inlet. Need to get those drives cleaned more thorroughly
that were stored in the barn with those birds :-).
thanks much, I should get it to work now. At least that
makes the VMS boot quicker. Still don't know why the
TU81 isn't detected, but that's for later.
