Hi folks,
Powering up with nothing attached apart from an MMJ/H8571 cable I get
nothing on the console, I'm using PuTTY via a genuine COM1 port on a PC
which is one level above what I used last time I powered the machine up
(FTDI USB adapter to a laptop). Diagnostic LEDs cycle through the tests and
end up at '1111 0011' which according to the manual is 'entering the
console program'.
Clearly the DALLAS has passed the TOY tests, but if it's not happy would
that stop the console displaying? It doesn't matter how I set S3, next step
I guess is to hook it up to a 'proper' VT.
Adrian, I'm having exactly that problem with my VLC. I put a Real
VT420 on it and still get no output. With a known-good/compatible
monitor and keyboard on it, same thing.
If there's a solution to this, I'd love to know.
