I think I'd have gone down many blind alleys without help and perspective
provided by others here, and in particular a lot guidance provided by Noel
over the past couple weeks in private correspondence enabling the use of
V6 as a test case and investigative tool. For this I am very grateful.
I very much enjoyed following the story of tracking down this fault.
Thanks for sharing it.
As those of you who have worked on these machines know, they are just so
damn serviceable, by design. It's very empowering!
I wish that this was also the case with several DEC Alphas I have with
cache failures that are not nearly so serviceable or empowering :-(
