Hi there,
I'm working on what I am led to believe is a PDP-11/73 (but it doesn't
look like one). It *was* working last week, but one of the leads had
dropped off the console socket on the back. On resoldering, it worked
perfectly.
Last night, when I opened it to fit the RXV21 another lead dropped of
(RXD this time), so again, I resoldered it. I don't think this has much
to do with the problem.
When I power the machine up, the 2nd-from-right status LED lights up.
From googling, it seems this means "SLU
Error". The Run light on the
front panel comes on for a moment, then goes
back out. The green LED on
the KDJ-11A never comes on (but I'm not sure that it ever did). All the
cards are firmly seated.
Unfortunately I don't have a list of all the cards fitted to hand.
From memory it is (might help to read this in a
monospace font):
| M8192 | Serial? |
| full width memory card |
| RL02 Controller |
| ST506 | Console/ROM |
| M8029 | |
Can't remember exactly, or quite what the cards are (some seem to be
third party).
One - does this seem to be a sane layout of cards (modulo uncertainty on
my part); and
Two - What would cause my SLU Error, and how should I proceed?
Thanks in advance,
Gordon Pearce
Assuming this is a BA23 cabinet, there should be just 1 board in the
number 1 slot. The CPU. Be it quad width or dual width.
