VCB02 woes in a MicroVAX III

I'll pretend it was much better in the long run you get you to read it :-) I was surprised that in my quick skim I didn't see any mention of the sorts of errors you might see on the console for various errors. I think there's a way of booting the uVAX as though the graphics board were not there: some setting(s) of the various switches. Hopefully someone with a better memory will remember how that's done. If you can do that, then the OS might still initialise the graphics and you'll have at least half a workstation. That manual also covers the LK250 in some detail. Possibly not enoguh detail to fix it, but I *think* the schematics are up on bitsavers (perhaps part of another manual, I'm sure I've seen them somewhere). How hard can it be to fix a keyboard ? Hopefully Pete will take them and add them to the archive. I'd take them but I'd probably lose them before needing them :-) Antonio arcarlini at iee.org
