Altough the rtVAX300 should have an integrated SCSI Controller, the 50 Pin can't be SCSI.. I've connected some disks, but the rtVAX isn't booting anymore, regardless of what disk is connected. There is a 74F373 that has some wirings to that connector and an EPM5032 is connected too. There is no row of GND Pins on that connector. The Ethernet Connector has 16 Pins and is a Berg type connector too. It seems as that is a somewhat translated AUI Connector, the one of the DELQA has 20 Pins, so it isn't the same at all. Maybe it should 1:1 connected to a DB15 receptacle with one Pin left free.. I think the next thing that I have todo is to reverse engeneer that Ethernet Interface so that I can try to boot that thing diskless with mopd. The Firmware shows that booting from the following devices should be possible: BOOT [/[R5:]<bflg>] { EZA0 | PRA0 | PRBx | CSBx } EZA0 must be the Ethernet Interface, what could the other Abbrevations mean? I think that there is a mechanism to use the devices of the Host the card lives in so that it can use the Disk from the Host trough some bridging software. I have to look what I could find in the disk dump if I get it. As I wrote before the system was a 486PC with an Adaptec 1542CF and a Comtrol 4 Port Serial Card. Don't know more ... Regards, Holm --
