Hmm, the text is to be found here:

http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/dec/pdp11/xxdp/PDP11_DiagnosticHandbook_1988.pdf

page 1-78.

The interresting thing is that this page states clearly:

".R ZKDJ??

SWR = 000000 NEW ="

..and other programms are behaving exactly like that, but not that
ZKDJB2.BIC test I have:



.R ZKDJB2.BIC
ZKDJB2.BIC

CZKDJ-B-0 KDJ11 CPU DIAGNOSTIC
CZKDJB END PASS #     1
CZKDJB END PASS #     2
CZKDJB END PASS #     3
CZKDJB END PASS #     4
CZKDJB END PASS #     5
CZKDJB END PASS #     6
CZKDJB END PASS #     7
CZKDJB END PASS #     8
CZKDJB END PASS #     9
...

CZKDJ-B-0
        ^
      Huh?

If the line clock is disabled I get the error like this:

BOOTING UP XXDP-XM EXTENDED MONITOR


XXDP-XM EXTENDED MONITOR - XXDP V2.5
REVISION: F0
BOOTED FROM DL3
124KW OF MEMORY
NON-UNIBUS SYSTEM

RESTART ADDRESS: 152000
TYPE "H" FOR HELP !

.R ZKDJB2.BIC
ZKDJB2.BIC

ERROR WHILE TESTING BOARD FUNCTIONS
ERROR # =001166
ERROR PC =040662
043632
@

..regardless how exactly it is disabled. Here I have done this trough
switching the clock off with the DIP Switch on the front Panel PCB.
Exactly the same occurs if I put the Jumper W9 on the pins and let the
Switch in the On position.
At the bottom of the description page:
"New revision of DCJ11 (J11 CPU Chip) chip has a change to fix a problem
found with ASH and ASHC instructions. The old diagnostics (REV B1) will
fail with the new DCJ11 chip set installed.
You need a patch."

....?§$&/#%*/??

What is an old chip an what is a new one? There are several revisions of
J11 Chips out there...

So the question is: Was the writer of the test description drunk?

All other tests  I've tried (MMU, FP, Memory) are ok, regardless wich
J11 I'm inserting and if the board is running with 15.2 or 18Mhz Clock.
