11/45, sick or not?

I finally allocated another day to spend on the 11/45. Unfortunately, I must say I'm not sure if it's sick or not, hopefully someone can help. First, none of the blinking lights programs I've seen blink the lights. I can store and retrieve the program correctly, but when I put 1000 on the switches and hit load address then run, it goes into run mode but no lights blink (with any display switch setting). Halt makes the processor halt. Here's what I did: 1000 005000 start: clr r0 1002 005200 inc r0 1004 006100 loop: rol r0 1006 000005 reset 1010 000775 br loop On this program I put 1000 in the switches, hit load address, then run. Address lights constantly show 1010, Data lights are blank, and the Run light is on. Data Paths setting shows 0, bus register setting shows 5, uaddr shows 177774. Another test... if I store a 5007 (clr pc) in location 0 and start the processor at location 0, the address lights show all 0's, the data lights show 2, and the following lights are lit - pause, master, kernel. I also tried this with location 0 set to 777 (br .) and get the exact same results. More info... just after power up, the address lights show 20, the data lights show 21043 (data paths). Master & Kernel are on. The uaddress setting shows 177570. So... I decided to go back to basics and check all the power points at the pins on the backplane. Here's what I found: A02A2 0 A06A2 4.931 A10A1 4.931 A26A2 4.931 A19A2 0 A16A2 0 A21A2 0 E02B2 -15 A17V2 0 A22V2 0 A17U2 0 A22U2 0 F17C1 0 E15A1 16 E01B1 9 Since my machine only has regulators at B, C, D, E, and F, I suspect the 0 volt readings above are ok. All the 5 volt test points have a very clear .2v sawtooth pattern (which looks fairly smooth at 5v). Since one manual says the ripple limit is .15, and another manual says the ripple limit is .20, I suspect I'm ok there. The ripple on -15, 16, and 9 I can't see any noticeable. And by the way... the cpu cardset was borrowed from another listmember and tested before I received it so I don't think it's something wrong with the cpu cardset itself. Any thoughts? Jay West
