Interesting, notice the "ready" light on the
disks, are they all on? This
it turns out is also a push button switch. When it is pressed in the disk
is made "on-line" and when it is out it is off line. You should get that
incredibly amusing DSSI 'seek calibration test' on all disks that are
enabled. Its possible you've just pushed one of the buttons and disabled a
disk VMS was hoping to use.
The 2 RF35 (I think that's the number) don't have the cables hooked up
for the panel. I assumed they didn't use the panel. Am I wrong on
this? They look like later, more modern drives to me, so I thought they
wouldn't use the panel, and I didn't see any place to hook them up. The
drive mounted lights do come on.
I think I have 2 16s, and an 8. If I am thinking
correctly, I have 3
memory boards total
Ok, I've seen 5 port connector straps (allowing for 4 mem boards) but it
was on a custom box. Yup, the CXY08. Nice serial card, easy to program,
supported by NetBSD.
CXY08, is exactly it.
The 4Plex should work fine on it, *if* you have a SCSI
interface in there.
Good. What should I look for in a SCSI card? When I do get a SCSI
card, should I remove the TK70, or just mount the cd-rom in an external
case? I would like the cd-rom internal, but I don't know how important
that TK70 might be.
