Ethan,
did you look at my VAXanatomy page? I have a picture of the VAXBI
back side detai,ing some of the ethernet. You put the AUI cable
and a terminator (!) in section E of that slot. May be you forgot
the terminator?
http://aurora.rg.iupui.edu/~schadow/VAX/anatomy/small/DSCN0003.jpg
and http://aurora.rg.iupui.edu/~schadow/VAX/anatomy for the whole
story.
Hope that helps,
-Gunther
So... the DEBNT itself fails self-test if there is
nothing attached
to the AUI connector. If I attach a DEC loopback connector to the
AUI plug, ISTR I get the yellow LED telling me it passed. If I put
a 10BaseT transceiver on there, the TX light stays lit with no networking
drivers/software loaded.
First and foremost, I'm attempting to verify I put the cables on the
right places. I have 30-pin connector off one end of the AUI cable.
I have a 30-pin connector with one wire attached that seems to be a
jumper block of some kind. At the moment, they are attached to the
BI backplane at block "E", I think because that's what seemed to be
right from looking at where the Lance chip is on the DEBNT. If anyone
has installation instructions, particularly cabling instructions,
those would be very helpful.
