Hi,
I need some help with a Vax 4000-200. I picked up an RRD43 CD-ROM drive and
installed it into an external SCSI-1 enclosure. On the 4000-200 on the far left side of
the QBus slots is a slot with 2 connectors, one appears to be a standard SCSI-1 connector
and the other is an inverse SCSI-2 connector (labels Bus 0) with a terminator on it that
lights up on power up.
I attempted to hook up the RRD43 to the SCSI-1 connector and after power up at the
>>> prompt I do a show device and show dssi and the internal DSSI drives and the
TF85 show up, then it shows the ethernet AUI port and Mac address, but nothing on the SCSI
devices (CD-ROM set to device #6, then I tried device #4, no change) Show SCSI shows
nothing.
So, what am I doing incorrectly??? Is that port usable as an external SCSI-1
connector??? I have a terminator installed on the Drive enclosure. I picked up a
spare dual SCSI Qbus board, but before going down that road and having to set it up and
such I just want to make sure that I can use the built in SCSI bus first (or not) Any
and All help is greatly appreciated, I would really like to get OpenVMS installed on this
unit and get it up and running, thanks.
