Hello All,
I've got two VLCs, I'm running them both headless. They are connected to S1
and S2 of a VT340 terminal. One of them "loses" the terminal sometimes. If
try typing nothing is echoed although I can still send stuff to the serial
port from a process and it displays. Sometimes I can "fix" it by breaking
to the chevron and then typing 'c' (continue). This happens on both VMS and
NetBSD so I don't think it is a driver problem.
Any problems with drives going offline? I've spent the last couple hours
fighting with this blasted one I just got. Decided it must be the 2GB HD
(it's a 3rd party drive) so put the RZ23L in, got a bit farther before it
to decided to go off-line.
Plus I think it dislikes my 'floater' CD-ROM. This is the CD-ROM I use on
*everything* that's SCSI. The wierd thing is, I've used it to load other
DEC systems, but I had to flip the blocksize switch, and I'm just about
positive I just flipped it to 2048-byte blocks, WTF!
I'm starting to think the only way I'll get this system up is to boot it
into my cluster as a diskless client! Grrr!
BTW, I'm 1.3 on my firmware.
