Pacific Standard Time Subj: Need assistance in restoring to working order a MicroVAX 3800 Hi: I have a MicroVAX 3800 computer that went overnight from being able to boot from the hard drive to not seeing the hard drives at all. The computer will look at the TK70, but I do not have a bootable tape. I purchased a KFQSA board from the net, but that did not seem to help. A scan of then QBUS shows only UQSSP Tape controller MUA0 and the ethernet adapter XQB0. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please keep in mind that I am a "newbie", but I am learning as fast as I can. I am 60 years old, and serious about getting this system up and running again. I would also be happy to be able to find someone with an Open VMS VAX version that can build me a bootable tape using the STABACKIT.Com tool provided with Open VMS VAX...............or...................use a tape-bases distribution that would come with a TK50 tape kit, which is supposed to be read-compatible with the TK70. Thanks for listening, Wayne Verish (440) 885-0803 ____________________________________ Download the _AOL Classifieds Toolbar_ (http://toolbar.aol.com/aolclassifieds/download.html?ncid=emlcntusdown000000…) for local deals at your fingertips. **************Download the AOL Classifieds Toolbar for local deals at your fingertips.
