Subject: vaxstation 3100 boot issue?
I am not a vax person, I'm posting this for someone else. Could anyone
offer
advice for me to relay back to this person (other than
reseating boards,
cleaning connectors, or other non-vax-specific stuff)?
--------------
I was hoping you could help me answer a question. I have a Vaxstation
3100
that, when I power it up, fails the test with the
following LED readout:
1000 1010
which indicates the failure is in the memory management test. Any
suggestions on further troubleshooting I can do to figure out how to get
this
machine booting? My plan is to run OpenBSD on it and
see if I can revive
some of the ports for this platform. I'm doing something similar on my
Alphastation 500/400.
--------------
Hmm.... I can't find that LED code in the doc I have:
http://manx.classiccmp.org/collections/antonio/a0574hr1.pdf. Which model of
3100 is this? Has he tried seeing if anything comes out on the console port?
Regards
Rob
