All,
I've added a VCB02 card to my MicroVax 2. Right now the VAX is setup with
the following layout...
Slot 1 KA630-A CPU M7606AF
Slot 2 8M RAM M7609-AM
Slot 3 8M RAM M7609-AP
Slot 4 CMD SCSI MSCP encapsulating (top half) empty bottom
Slot 5 M7516-YM (ethernet, top) M7546 for TK-50 (bottom)
Slot 6 VCB02
Slot 7 VCB02 Memory
Slot 8 VCB02 Memory
Per the docs on bitsavers, the VCB02 can go in any QBUS slot 5-8, but the
layouts in the manual are different than what I have setup.
With the VCB02 in there POST takes longer, but the console still comes out
on the serial port. The VCB02 shows 3 red LEDs.
I assume I need to set the addressing on the card, but I have 0 clue what
to do.
