- A friend of mine invested some money to a sperry 5000/??? computer.
- It runs Sys Vr2.1 and has a tape drive installed. A few days it
- worked well and then came a problems: after power-up it gives
- following information:
- LOG TASK = SSKE,0
- ERROR CODE 1 = $0109
- AUTO TEST SEQUENCE
- TEST: IVT TOD EDC MMU MEM HIO
- LOG TASK = HIO0,0
- ERROR CODE 1 = $C00A
-
- TEST: MPA
- TEST LOAD ERROR $0581
-
-
-
- LOG TASK = SSLS,0
- ERROR CODE 1 = $0581
-
- SWITCHING TO INTERACTIVE MENU
- PRESS SPACEBAR TO CONTINUE
-
- After that appears a menu that appears when machine is booted to
- manual-state. About error-codes says manual the folloowing:
-
- 01xx SKE (SUS Kernal)
- Cxxx HIO0 (High Performance 8-channel I/O Controller Level 0 Diagnostics)
- 05xx SSLS (SUS Load Supervisor)
-
- When we try "INSTALL SYSTEM" from that menu that appeared after power-up
- tells the computer:
-
- LOG TASK = SSST,0
- ERROR CODE 1 = $0609
-
- and manual says: $06xx SSST (Streaming Tape Loader)
-
- What could be broken? As far as I can remember the problem appeared
- when a rs-cable between console-terminal and that machine was
- accidentally pulled off from the plug when machine was up and running ..
- after that the machine didn't ever boot again :-(
- I can't see how a broken rs-cable could cause something to break down
- in a computer - can it break something?
- That machine claims that I/O-controller is broken - if it is, who
- would like to sell us new one ? :-)
-
- Sorry about spelling errors etc, my native language is Finnish.
