I just acquired a KA640 VAX in a BA215 (thanks Josh)
which has one
working RF30 and one dead RF30 with failure code 300B(X). I don't have
copies of any manuals which list the error codes. I just figure at
this point that the drive is dead and there is nothing that can be
done to try to fix it.
Ive "fixed" a dead RF31, but the error was A00something.
Is thedisk spinning up? Is the head assembly "ratteling" after the spin
up?
The working 150MB RF30 is too small for a useful VMS system although
it would be a decent size if I set up the system as a PDP-11 with an
M7554-PB KDJ11-SB CPU instead of the VAX KA640.
Hmm... does the KDJ11-SB support DSSI disks? Don't know...
For VMS use I would either set up this system with a CMD Q-Bus SCSI
controller, or use an HSD10 in a BA350 to connect SCSI disks to the
DSSI controller.
Don't have an HSD10 and it seems that none is available to a fair price in
Europe.
