Whew! The uVax II is talking to me again. With Megan's help and a couple of
others the boards have been correctly arranged and once again I get the
'chevron' prompt. I use the following magic to get into WOMBAT on the
controller:
>> D/P/W 20001F40 20
>> D/L 20088008 80000002
>> D/W <csr> AC
>> S 400
Where <csr> is replaced with 20001468 in my case. It varies based on how
the switches are set. The WQESD manual claims you can get into WOMBAT by
typing 'W' if the right switch is set but my VAX just says "illegal
command"
The disk controller doesn't "see" my ESDI disk but I've got some cable
damage on the 34 pin cable that I need to repair. (replacing the cable)
However, after the mistake of connecting the QTO card in backwards I'm
trying to find some way to test it. My best guess is to put a tape in the
drive and try to boot from it but I don't know what the device name would
be... any help here would be good.
