- This is my first post so forgive me if I muck things up a bit.
- I am the proud owner of a PDP 11/93 and I'm trying to put
- everything including the kitchen sink on it. This is my config:
-
- -------- KDJ-11E --------
- DPV-11 --------
- TKQ70 --------
- DELQA DHQ-11
- DHQ-11 DHQ-11
- DHQ-11 DHQ-11 (this one's for DECnet)
- -------- DMV-11 --------
- RXV-11 M9404 ( buss extender to next box)
-
- -------- --------
- M9405 --------
- -------- KDA-50 --------
- -------- KDA-50 --------
- -------- KDA-50 --------
- -------- KDA-50 --------
- RQDX3 --------
-
- Kinda full huh???? Now ..... before you say why ... MONEY!
- and before you say unsupported ...... I know ... but that never
- stopped us PDP folk before!!!
-
- The RQDX3 has a RD53 and a RX33 on it. The KDA's each have 2
- RA82's and the TKQ70 obviously has a TK70 on it. The RXV-11
- (for you younger folks) has a RX01 on it (if you don't know what
- that is you can't help me!).
-
- I'm running RSX-11M-PLUS v4.3 BL66.
-
- Problem # 1 - I can BRU from the RD53 to the TK70 and back again
- no sweat. I can BRU from the RA82's to the TK70
- also. I can NOT BRU back to the RA82's. I get a
- TAPE READ ERROR - I/O error code -6 during the
- BRU operation. TK50's work but it takes too many
- of them. I sure would like this to work. Any
- takers??
-
- Problem # 2 - When I try to mount the RX01 (either DX0: or DX1:)
- the system hangs. The run light stays on so I'm
- guessing the buss goes belly up! Is this because
- I'm using an 18 bit controller on a 22 bit
- machine? If so, is there a work around? OH
- PLEASE LET THERE BE ONE!!!! I REALLY need this to
- work!
-
- Problem # 3 - I have been using a document called - "low cost
- PDP upgrades DEC doesn't tell you about" or
- something like that. Anyway..... somebody with
- sticky fingers has made it disappear. Does
- anybody have a copy or know where I can get my
- hands on one?
-
- Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
