I am trying to get my MicroVAX II working, and now,
thanks to a generous
person on this list, I have a working CPU and Memory combination. I am now
trying to run the MicroVAX II diagnostics from the TK50 diagnostics tape
that came with the machine. The puzzling thing is that it does not seem to
display the correct configuration and devices when I select that option from
the menu. Here is what it says:
...
So, the question is, should I expect to see these
devices listed, should I
expect it to tell me how much memory is installed? If I am not seeing the
devices listed and they are known to work, why would they not appear? I
suspect that the M7559 might not appear as it controls a TK70 and this
MicroVAX II probably predates that device.
I'd expect to see total memory and a list of devices. Which backplane
are you using and where are all the modules inserted? Have you tried
moving them around to see if you at least get different results?
Cheers,
