I remember that they were 500K, and not hard sectored. Does that narrow it down? Jim

Um, it may use Ds/DD 8" floppies... my model 12 and 16 did. At 12:06 PM 5/15/02 -0500, you wrote:

I have a model II and software but have just arrived back from a trip to Vancouver with a carload of stuff that I picked up there, a mailbox stuffed with messages, and my m.II is buried under a raft of other stuff and not set up.

Anyone have a working 11/34 processor card who could email me what you have your processor options switches set to? (S1) I can't get my machine to boot, I suspect I flipped a wrong switch somewhere. Thanks, Tarsi 210

Tarsi, meanwhile, I am at home, and here's what the "LSI-11 Systems Manual", Volume II, 5th Edition (Jan. 1985) says: --- snip --- S1-1 Execute CPU diagnostic upon power-on or restart S1-2 Execute memory diagnostic upon power-up or restart S1-3 DECnet boot (S1-4 through S1-7 are arguments*) S1-4 ON = Console test and dialog (S1-3 off) OFF = Turn key boot dispatched by S1-5 through S1-8 (S1-3 off) *DECnet boot arguments are: Boot device S1-4 S1-5 S1-6 S1-7 DUV11 ON X X X DLV11-E OFF ON X OFF DLV11-F OFF ON X ON DLV11-E CSR = 17775610 DLV11-F CSR = 17776500 DUV11 CSR = 17760040 if there are no other devices from 17760010 to 17760036 All bootstrap programs other than the DECnet boots above are controlled by the bit patterns in switches S1-5 through S1-8. The bit patterns are described in the following table. If the console test is selected (S1-4 on, S1-3 off), the bootstrap program is controlled by a device mnemonic and unit number supplied by the console operator. Bootstrap Program Selection Device Mnemonic S1-5 S1-6 S1-7 S1-8 Program Selected DKn; n < 8 OFF OFF OFF ON RK05 boot DLn; n < 4 OFF OFF ON OFF RL01 or RL02 boot DDn; n < 2 OFF OFF ON ON TU58 (SLU) at 776500 boot DXn; n < 2 OFF ON OFF OFF RX01 boot DYn; n < 2 OFF ON ON OFF RX02 boot --- snip --- If you need more info, e.g., about the console dialog, LED readings, or the jumpers on the board, there is more in the manual. Let me know what you want. I have a KDF11-B (M8189) on my own, and it was running fine together with a FPF-11 until the RD53 (system disk) broke. I hope to get around to repairing or replacing it as soon as time permits. Good luck for your system! Regards Andreas Tarsi schrieb:
