Hi again,
Guys I still have a problem to get my qbus VAx Memory boards working
thogether.
I do have an KA630CPU, Firmware 1.30, and want to get 2 8MB Memory Boards
to work thogether in a H9278 Backplane which has 3 CD interconnect slots.
I've tried all variants ot plug the boards and of the switch and Jumper
settings. The one board is an National NS638 the other is a Chrislin
CM-VI-8. For the memory sizing test I'm booting NetBSD 1.5.3 over the
network from my FreeBSD Workstation.
There are setting where I get a double fault while booting, think that is
why there is to small amaount ov memory enabled.
Mostly I get 9MB of Memory (1MB from the KA630 + one 8MB Board) but I had
10Mbytes too so that at least one of the boards must have worked as 1MB
Mem. There is also a setting where the machine doesnt boot at all.
The NS638 has a Jumper that can be set into the W1 and W2 positions,
have tried both of them.
I have additionally an MS630 Board with 4MB of memory, this board works
thogether with the crislin and the national board, I get 13MB of memory
total (8+4 +1MB KA630). An other MS630 with only 2 Mbytes is still
untested.
So please, please, does anyone here know whats happening here and what for
the jumpers and the switches on the handles of the 8MB boards are for?
Has anyone those boards too and can confirm this?
Regards,
Holm
