Tommie,
Yes - I kinda worked that out :-) Hence my four questions.
Perhaps what I really need to find is a functional MV/2500 in the UK...

Steve, the error code means the SCP (System Control
Processor) is unable to find and load the MV's microcode from the disk.

Subject: DG MV/2500 Help
Well I got the PSU repaired in the MV/2500 I'm trying to resurrect; now I'm on to
disk problems.
On start-up I get
Model # 8932; System Processing Unit (SPU)
AB, FAILED; ERROR 6:252:74
I know that Break (CMD-ESC) will take me into some sort of primitive boot environment but
I have no documentation (or knowledge) of available commands etc.
Next steps:
* Try to get the MV/2500 system media on 130MB CTD format
* Try to get low-level documentation on the MV/2500
* Find out how to attach a PHU to the MV/2500 (no, it's not obvious!)
* Find out for certain if I can put non-DG SCSI disks in the MV/2500.
The two disks in there appear to have DG-originated BIOSes...
Can anyone help or answer any of the above?
Thanks in advance,
Steve
