Here's the deal: Our landlord (at work) showed up. He was not happy with
the '44, at all. It is currently in an unused room. (I have no other
place to put it!) It looks quite ugly, as it's not working and all over
the place. I cleaned up the best I can, but it's not enough. Since nor
my business nor me can afford the spare room, I have been given orders to
make it look nice. I have 3 days. After which, if the room does not meet
his standards, he'll take the computer and feed it to the scrap man. I
can't afford the room, I'm broke. And I can't move it anywhere else.
Basically, I have 3 days to get everything back in the racks. And working
if possible. Or else, whatever I can't fit in my car is property of the
building owner, and then the scrap metal man. If I can make it run, I can
put it in the main office (maybe). The uPDPs and such have to find
another place to stay... One'll end up at my house, and the others
probably in storage.
I have things almost ready. The 2 BA11s power on, but there appears to be
no bus continuity. The arragement has the CPU and RAM in the master BA11,
and the UDA50 in the other. No DZs or anyhting yet. The lights on the
UDA stobe normally, but it refuses to boot. It is in an NPG slot (I
looked, the CA1 wire is cut), like it was originally. Just those MASSBUS
backplanes are gone. I have NPGs in every available slot. There is one
terminator, at the end of the bus. WHat am I doing wrong?
