(Congratulations on the progress made so far.
Maybe there is hope yet
for my two DEC 3000/600 machines which have similar symptoms.)
Reminds me to revive my 3000/700, once I get the mechanical issues from
mishandling in shipping sorted out. I hope it hasn't rotted from disuse
-- it was alright, booted OSF/1 even, when I last powered it on ~10 years I should have done it sooner. Having a physical box I
might be able to
help
even more, check things, etc. The only difference is
the clock rate I
believe.
From what I read the 3000 is a slightly earlier
generation, not sure how
close it will be. Sounds like a good idea to get it going
anyway. The thing
I am struggling with at the moment is getting sys$crmpsc_pfn_64 to work so I
can use C to test the NVRAM. I seem to have a problem with the service
writing back the address and length, but I don't yet know why.
