Hi All,
I replaced the UBC today (I found a serviceable spare of the same version in
our works stores, last tested 1994....), and I can now key in a program,
examine it and run it.
I now need to concentrate on the PSU, before I start putting the rest of the
cards back. I must also repair my UBC, in case work decides they want theirs
back (unlikely, but you can never tell with bean counters).
Now a question, I used the light flasher program:
location contents opcode
001000 012700 mov #1,r0
001002 000001
001004 006100 rol r0
001006 000005 reset
001010 000775 br -4
and it will run, however, I don't see the data lights "chase" across the
console. If I single step, the program performs as expected, with the data
lights going across the panel (data switch in "Data Paths" position). Also,
if I run the program and halt it, the light appear at a different data bit
depending on how long I let the program run (I can continue the program and
it will move to a different bitn at the next halt). Am I doing something
stupid, or are the bulbs just too slow to display the data? (I suppose it
could be a function of the power supply fault, but I don't think it would
manifest itself in this way).
Thanks
Jim.
