Two diags give me odd results, and I'm not sure if they are saying
something is failing or if I'm just not understanding what they're
trying to say.
ZDLDI0 - DL-11W diagnostic - It prints the following:
CZDLDI0 DL11-W 11/44 MFM SLU
01 Devices Under Test
--------this line is the complete ascii character set (A-Z, a-z, 0-9,
!-+, etc.)-----------
--------the above line (complete ascii character set) repeats here a
2nd time----------
ND PASS
The odd part is the ND PASS. Where did my E go? It thinks it ended ok,
but something seems amiss. I tried this on a VT100, and then on an
ADDS VP to make sure it wasn't the terminal. Both gave identical
results, both set to 8-1-N which is what the DL11 is set at. This MAY
be related to the following...
I tried this on my 11/34 and I see the same
behavior, the 'E' is missing.
The string printed according to the diagnostic listing is <CR><LF>"END
PASS "
(this is in ZDLDC0, I don't have a listing fro ZDLDI0).
I have two DL11-Ws (one console, one TU-58 emulator) and both pass the
diagnostic and work 100%.
So I think this is either a latent diag bug (I use TTermPro for the
terminal emulator).
I now remember seeing this before and have just ignored it.
When I run FKTGC0 (11/34 memory management excerciser)
it loops on a
character set display similar to the ZDLD diag above. But it's not the
exact same line every time. About once every 2 seconds it prints the
character set line, then prints it again, and this goes on for long
enough that I just halt the processor. The only docs I can find on
FKTG show a switch option to inhibit TTY output. I select that and run
the diag again, and it just prints an * on a new line about once every
12 seconds. I see no documentation telling me if you inhibit TTY
output that it's supposed to print a * every so often, it doesn't seem
to ever stop (maybe I'm not giving it long enough) so I'm a bit
clueless as to if it is completing this diag and * means a pass, or
does each * mean a test phase, or does a * mean "fail"?
I ran this as
well, behavior is similar. With TTY output enabled I see
the same line repeated over and over again (looks like ascii sequence
0x00..0xFF) as fast as the terminal will run. With TTY output disabled I
see a line with just a '*' printed and the bell rings about every 30 sec
or so. I don't have a listing for this diagnostic, but this behavior is
pretty typical of a 'pass' indicator.
I'd appreciate any input on the two issues above!
I think you have a working system!
Thanks!
