Ideas, or
reach for the OpenVMS CD? Is there an easy way to use the SCSI
port on the VAXstation 3100 (I hear it has a different pinout)?
It's either a hardware failure or a badly corrupted system disk. Unless there's stuff on there that you need to
recover, you're wasting
your time...just do a fresh install. Do you have a VMS distribution on CD?
CDs came with it; I haven't examined them. I should make sure they work in
simh, so the G5 is industriously compiling simh as I type this. (Can simh
netboot the 3100?) I also ordered a SCSI cable as per Glen's link, so we'll
try getting it running again when the cable arrives.
