OK from the beginning.
1. The 11/94 is housed in deep box located in a 42inch cabinet. It uses a KDJ11-E Quad
proc. board.
2. Two buses (Q and Uni) are housed in the one box and are linked by a special
interface card.
3. Via a pair of flat cables the CPU is linked to an I/O panel at the rear of the
cabinet.
As well as six nine way D (rs232) and one 25 way D (rs232) sockets there is a set
of dip switches to
set up the console serial line parameters. There is also a two digit power on self
test progress display.
4. On switch on the self test progress display and the LED's on the edge of the
CPU card count down
from 77 to 04 (normal run mode)
5. Dialog mode is entered as set by the dip switches on the I/O panel. Sometimes it
gives the List Boot etc.
Hitting any of the choices just drops you into set up mode. Setup does work and
you can save the changes.
6. The main problems are that if you try to get it to boot it says no controller to
every device except DD
and that says no drive. Secondly I cant get it to go into ODT to look at the
registers.
Comments please

1. The PROM appears to be genuine DEC. KDJ11-E Monitor V 1.06
2. I have seen it the mode where it offers List etc but only with VT100
It would appear that deviced on the Unibus is inaccessible. DD is run off the
KDJ11-E serial ports.
Have you checked the Unibus supply voltages? KDJ11-T properly seated?
Is there a good battery for the TOY clock inserted?
TOY battery did need a change.
(got to go get one)
Would that have caused the problems?
