Hello Allison,
I meant simply:
OK, I have tried >>>B MKAn for values 0->7 and ended with a quick 84 FAIL
in each instance.
Likewise, I have tried >>>B MUAn for the same values with the same
results, excepting n=0. In that instance, I first see the
-MUA0
displayed and sometime later:
%VMB-F-ERR, PC = 00000765
%VMB-I-STS, R0 = 000008C2
84 FAIL ^^^
In this case, however, ^ this value is different from the other instances.
>>B MKA0 <cr>
It could be any device from 0->7. < By the way, about how long should the boot from

Assume slow, slow, slow.

Unterminated ethernet (BNC)?
Likely so, as it is not terminated.
< TPC 0202.0001
< FFFFFF03 01000001 FFFFFF05 FFFFFF05 FFFFFF05 FFFFFF05 FFFFFF05 FFF
those ending on 05 are not occupied scsi addresses.
I believe the one that comes up ffffff03 is the tape, the 010000001 is a
new one on me.
All the other tests I'm ingoring right now. Try the TK50 again with the
SCSI tape disconnected and see that the pattern is. It should all be
xxxxxxx05. Also I think the default address for the tape is 7 not 0.
I tried it with the T 50 disconnected and the change was that the
01000001 value became FFFFFF05 also. With it connected but powered down,
I got FFFFFF03 FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF ...
Right now, I am trying again to boot from the TK50 after setting MUA0 as
default via T 51. I entered just 'B', and it has tried -DUA0, -MUA0, -ESA0,
?54 RETRY, and is now on ESA0 again. I'm not sure how long this will go
on, but it looks like it is skipping MUA0 on this go round. Yes, it is.
It is cycling between -ESA0 and ?54RETRY.
Could the TK50 drive itself be faulty, or d\the tapes themselves?
