in my VAX 11/780 I have the PDP-11/03 alias KC780. And
it has
the following memory board right now:
M7944 MSV11-B Q 4-Kword 16-bit MOS RAM (external refresh)
But, since I'm planning to upgrade to an 11/785 I need additional
RAM. When it showed up on ePay I buyed a
M8044-DA MSV11-DD Q 32-Kword 16-bit MOS RAM
but the boot program will not load with this. Why would that be?
From the error I got it appeared as if may be there is just some
jumpering to do, but I have no clue as to where and what.
There's some 780 console information at DFWCUG
too, but I doubt that it covers this (it's at home
and not to hand right now so I cannot check).
I do have an 11/03 user guide (with a fair bit of
technical info - it's a -TM- part number) and I
can ftp that to you if it might help. I can look in
it tonight to see if it has any helpful comments.
I can also ftp it to you if you don't fancy waiting
a month or so for it to appear on DFWCUG.
