I have a MicroVAX 2000 motherboard which boots
fine unless I plug in a
4MB memory expansion card. I already tried the following:
[1] Attempted to boot with a different 4MB card. Doesn't work.
[2] Booted a different MicroVAX 2000 motherboard with the original
memory card. Worked.
I don't have any info to offer, except to say that I have
a box with
what I think is about 3-4 different
MV2000 cpu's + lots of memory. As I recall the memory is all daisy
chained with a cable on the top
of the boards (I've never worked on a mv2000, so sorry for my ignorance).
I'd me more than happy to part with these if you (or anyone else) would
like them - all I would ask is postage. I suppose I should
put them on ebay, but I can't imagine they are worth much. I'm in Boston
if you want to calculate shipping.
As I recall I pulled at least one out of a BA-123 chassis - the "coffee
table with wheels" size cabinet.
