In my efforts to understand the problem with the Cache/TB Diagnostics I
tried to run it under 11/750 simulator in SimH. It fails too!
ECKAL -- VAX 11/750 Cache/TB Diagnostic
HALT instruction, PC: 00002608 (MTPR #F,#26)
Although not the same location.
On the real machine:
@?ECKAL -- VAX 11/750 Cache/TB Diagnostic
00003488 06
Trying to disassemble at 3488 in SimH gives me:
EXTZV @-1D(R7),#0,#0,(R8)+
The EXTZV is supposed be "Extract Zero-Extended Field"
I have never done any VAX-11 assembly coding so this is very new ground for
me... As far as I understand the diagnostic starts at address 200. But then
understanding what it does without the listing... Well. A long journey for
me.

I am pretty sure I dumped all the PROMs and PALs in the CPU of my 11/730 R80) long before there was a bitsavers. I can see
if I can find the
dumps. What I don't have is the
Remote Diagnostic ROMs (this was another pair of
2K*4 ROMs that plug
into sockets on the WCS
board and which run on the 8085). So no dumps of
that.
I have three WCS cards, including the one in my machine, but none of them
have the remote diagnostic option.
