So, what is the status now? It don't work?
DMA works fine! However other tests and SCSI FIFO does not.

I think the red ECC error light is on, too but the system IS halted.
That sounds bad. What backplane is this sitting in now? And I think the
PMI memory board actually do some internal diagnostics already at power
on, so an error light on is probably not a good sign...
By the way, I hope/assume that you also configured it to start at
address 0...
I have. Took me a bit to figure out which DIP switch position meant
"on" and which meant "off".

Damn. With it set to address 0 the ECC error light comes on when I try to do the SCSI diagnostics. Looks like a bit of this board is consistently bad, too. :(

In any cluster all nodes minus one must be routers, L1 or L2. The Nth node may be an end node. That's what I remember....

For the DECnet cluster alias you need (at least) one routing node (L1) or a router.
Does any of the cluster nodes have routing enabled?
I hqve a L1 router and an area router in the same LAN. Is that enough, or should I enable routing in one of the cluster members?

Still the BA123.
Turns out the light came on when I tried to read invalid memory. ;)

Yup!
Nice.
Yeah.
Did you know that those memory boards work just fine as normal Qbus
memory boards? :-)
THAT I did not know! Looks like I have a spare.
Indeed. Those memories are funny. If you put them in an 11/83, they either act as Qbus memory or PMI memory, depending on if you place them before or after the CPU. And that makes a speed difference...
Cool.
Of course, for all other type of systems, you'll have to place them after the CPU.
Yeah. ;)
There's that 16K board...I could adjust the memory offsets.
Ugh! 16K is not much...
Nope...but MAYBE just enough to fit the lower bits of the executive?
Maybe. But I think that PMI memory is a better option. :-)
Yup. ;)
