Mark, my best guess is that the spindle is stuck. Put the drive upside down, reconnect and power on. The cables in a 4000-90 allow for this. If that fails, put it on its side, tap the spindle with a hammer and power up. It may just spin up one last time.

Hi Guys,
Just to let you know that we had a circuit breaker trip here today and
when I restarted the VAXstation 4000/90 the Seagate ST39173N system disk
no longer spins up. The controller recognises the drive, and an LED on
the drive circuit board flashes once on power up and when it is queried
by the SCSI controller, but at no point does the drive spin up.
Does anyone have any tips? I thought I had a duplicate drive I could try
swapping the controller board with, but I've yet to locate it. It might
be stuck heads, but given the circumstances it is more likely to be
something that has gone bang.
This box hasn't been backed up in a while. I may have a working version
of the website on a backup, but there will be a few features missing if
the restore works.
In the meantime the website will be down.
Oh and also, if you haven't done that backup in a while, NOW IS THE TIME
TO DO IT!!!
Regards,
Mark.

Mark. A good way to "debug" the bridge is to send it SIGUSR1, upon which
it will dump to stdout a bunch of information.
Apart from that, you cannot see if the bridge is talking to your machine
or not, since the bridge is meant to be totally transparent from the
DECnet point of view.
One other thing: what is your ip address (or dns) and port number, so I
can check if my config file still have the right values...?

Circuit State Loopback Adjacent

What should I be seeing on the bridge to indicate that BUBBLE is talking
to it correctly? I'm presuming when the link is up I should see a
routing node against ISA-0 on the above circuit list?

One thing I noticed on my 'glorious' time warner connection (that's all they

But forcing my router to 100MB half duplex gets me 45MB in bursts.....
Sometimes it's worth exploring options on those wan links, but you'd need to
break into the hotel system to do so....
Not that I'd ever do something like that....
What is more annoying is that all the TCP/UDP port filtering is done at the
ISP level.. I have to buy a tunnel out from Sweden to get full IP access...
now how's that for a joke?

* I was seriously getting 14-20 mbps down. It's a cool hotel anyway, only
problem is the bar only had beer and wine. License issue. Oh and it's in the

It gets better closer to NYC, by the time you're staying in a NJ hotel
you're getting closer to your home's settings.

Hello!
Jason, do what I do. Complain. The bird behind TWCNY may be something
of a fritter head but he does listen to complaints. I've been offered
that service as part of their triple play game, I turned it down
because I don't trust their technicians to understand things
concerning different operating systems play properly. AT&T now Covad
entirely does understand things up to a point. (Where that is, is
something for later.)

Also, drove around (in a cab) DC a bit last night, it really has the feeling of a New Rome architecturally. Very imposing, grandiose and believable.
Met a lovely guy, physicist working on some missile guidance systems etc, obviously never been anywhere awful like Algeria etc and he believed, sincerely, that America can bring peace, democracy and Disney movies to the whole world, i.e. that the Pax Americana is achievable, sort of a modern Pax Romana.
I wanted to point out that the Romans solved their Middle Eastern problems by nailing 5000 people to the walls of Jerusalem but didn't have the heart or how Carthage ended up :)
