I'm trying to get my RLV11 working to eventually run my RL02, and am having some trouble.
I have a PDP-11/23 in an H9273 backplane. I just got it working reliably without the RLV11 boards installed, so now I'm giving them a try again. Here's my configuration: Down the left side: M8186, M8044, M8044, M8043, M8013, M8014, and M8012 (the BDV11) on the bottom. I don't have the drive connected and am just trying to run the VRLAC0 controller test, which I believe should work without any drives connected. The switches on M8014 are configured to the defaults, according to: http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/dec/qbus/EK-RLV11-TD-001_RLV11_Controller_Technical_Description_Manual_Mar78.pdf That would be a vector address of 330 and a base address of 174400. Unfortunately, VRLAC0 doesn't look like it can see anything, but I'm not sure I'm reading its output correctly. What follows is the VRLAC0 output. I also looked at 17440 myself and get 005737, though I'm not sure what it should be. This is new territory for me, so any help would be welcome. Thanks! .R VRLAC0 VRLAC0.BIN DRSSM-G2 CVRLA-C-0 CVRLAC RLV11 RL01 DSKLESS DIAGNOSTIC UNIT IS RLV11 RSTRT ADR 145702 DR>START CHANGE HW (L) ? Y # UNITS (D) ? 1 UNIT 0 11/23 PROCESSOR (L) Y ?
