Evening, I've been trying to netboot ULTRIX today and I have gotten nowhere. Works fine in SIMH! The kernel output says my DELQA is in DEQNA-LOCK mode despite any changes made to the switches...is this Ultrix behaviour or do I have 2 bum DELQAs? FYI: This is Ultrix 4.0. It appears to stop at printing what the time has been set to. -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net Personal stuff http://gimme-sympathy.org Projects

No grants in cd slots. These are not the qbus. There is no signals that needs to pass through so no grants. It's actually pretty easy if you understand the actal electronics and the bus protocol.

If the DHV11 sits in a Q-CD slot, I seem to remember that there are a couple of jumpers that should be different than if it sits in a Q-Q slot. It's 4. I have it sitting in a Q/CD as IIRC all my DHV11s are configured to sit happily in a Q/CD slot. The error you got from moving the DELQA, in combination with how I think I should read your illustration of card locations would suggest that it's 4 Q-CD slots. Yup. But all this is very hard to debug remotely like this. I would try removing the DHV11 in order to minimize the components in the system that can create problems. That also means moving the DELQA up to the DHV11 location. It should definitely be on the left side in that case. I added the DHV11 as I thought it was causing issues...that I think were actually related to misconfigure hosts file. Do I need a continuity card in the CD slot of the Q/CD or no? Can never remember the rules on those damn things. Johnny -- Skickat fr n min Android-telefon med K-9 E-post. Urs kta min f ordighet.

The BA123 does have 4 Q-CD slots, starting from the right. At slot 5, the serpentine pattern begins, the first dual-width Qbus slot is at the top, and the second is at the bottom. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ/3 New Kensington, PA

By the way, Cory. The clock on your system seems to be 3 hours into the future... Johnny -- Johnny Billquist || "I'm on a bus || on a psychedelic trip email: bqt at softjar.se || Reading murder books pdp is alive! || tryin' to stay hip" - B. Idol
