I tried the suggestion from Don with the M9302 in the last slot of the
11/44 backplane. To my surprise, when you hit ^P, the system prints a
new "(Program)" line and the cursor (_) moves to the next line.
So, now I am thinking ... a wrong/dead terminator on the RL02 drive,
can it have such an effect that through the RL11 controller the bus
hangs?!
IF you changed the dipswitches on the UBI board as I mentioned in my
previous email, AND you get the same response as above (^P gives another
(program) display)... then I bet your front panel board (slot 1AB) or your
MFM board is toasty.

Jep, I checked the switches, they are set just like you said: 1-2-7 ON,
rest OFF :-). I toggled 1-2-7 to OFF an back ON again, but the problem
is still here. To clarify, I get only the (Program) line, and then the
cursor moves to the next line. I do *not* get the ">>>" console
prompt.
I haven't looked at the diagrams yet, but ASSuming the M7090 (slot 1AB)
does not contain logic and getting the (Program) printed, that board is
OK. Except that the voltage comparators might be off, and they keep the
system locked? I have at least 4 CIM boards, so a simple check is
possible. I also have 3 MFM boards, but I hate swapping if I don't have
a good reason/explanation/suspect for a specific baord.
Anyway I will swap only one board at a time ...
thanks!
