We have an 86/330 that will not boot. We are using the RMX 5.1 Operating
System. Following power on we compete the SCT Test and begin booting and
get a "Divide overflow occured". We have replaced the 8086 procrsser, the
8087 coprocessor and the memory boards. At this point we are out of options
unless it is the cpu board (144548-003 Rev C). 1) if any one has any advice
I would appreciate it, or if anyone has a board or computer that they would
like to sell.
Thanks,

Sounds like a software problem.
What's an 86/330?

OK... Down memory lane...
The 86/330 was an Intel System shipped that ran RMX. It was Multibus
based. I've seen them running either RMX or Xenix. The 330 chassis had a
4 slot card cage that held cpu, memory, serial ports, and an 8 inch disk
controller.
Fun little boxes....

This reminds me, when are we getting the archives back up?
Hey Jay, any chance of just throwing them up and not worrying about the
spam problems? We seem to have done OK what with the old archives still
being searchable by Google.
I surely miss the archives. I want to turn to them at least once a week
and have to remember they are just not there :(
I'd volunteer my time to take this issue on but I'm already drowning in
projects.
