The CS08 has a 3 position switch on the breakout panel "N R S" for Normal, Reset and Setup mode. One can connect a terminal and switch to Setup, that's what I've done. I've entered the CSR 160440 (17760440) and the vector 310 like sysgen was showing in sh/config. The Emulex worked, previous vector was 300 where the problem was the same as on the CXY08. Now it was pretty clear what the problem was, switched E28/8 to one (Vector bit 3) on the CXY08, put it in, booted and voila .. its working now. Understand my quandary: I have changed not a single bit on the hardware while cleaning and repairing it and besides that DHU11-DHV11 Switch the board was in the published factory setting! I've got the machine in exactly this configuration and I'm not a guy that toggles switches b'cause they are nice looking. That's why I've assumed that the the hardware is in a working configuration and I've expected that VMS should complain when a device isn't able to pull an interrupt while initializing it ..but... No error in the logs, no error while booting..so what? Ok. Almost 3 days for such a simple problem.. Oh man... :-( Ok, the beast seems to be working now as it should. Now I can try to fix that "not properly dismounted" problem on dia1 ..I've relocated the pagefile.sys to it b'cause of space considerations ..and VMS is to stupid to dismount it properly. Next try ist to get the printer(s) working, one serial and one over TCP/IP Port 9100 (old jet-direct Laserjet). Hopefully I'm learning again to use the installed c-compiler.. Tomorrow my granddaughter is coming with familiy, time to play is over then.. :-) Thanks to all, Holm -- Technik Service u.
