I've brought up a MicroVax II and installed VMS 5.5-2 on a SCSI2SD disk
and it is fun to work with. (I also installed openvms 7.2 without much
drama)
The problem I am having is that is has a TK50 tape drive and controller,
but it never has shown up in the device list. I even swapped in a
different controller.
What type of cab? BA23 or BA123 'world box'? In the BA123 the left 4 slots
from the left are CD interconnect, in a BA23 just the left 2. CD
interconnect means you can put a half-height card in the 'top' of slots 1-4
(or 1-2) and not need anything in the bottom. Which slot are you putting the
TQK50 in?
It is the World Box, BA123 and I have hardware manuals that came with
the MVII.
When I got it this was the configuration:
Slot 1 - CPU
Slot 2 - Memory
Slot 3 - Bus Grant Card M9047
Slot 4 - DHV11
Slot 5 - TQK50 (upper) M9047 (lower)
Slot 6 - RQDX2
The new configuration is:
Slot 1 - CPU
Slot 2 - Memory (Clearpoint)
Slot 3 - Memory (DEC)
Slot 4 - DHV11
Slot 5 - TQK50 (upper) VIKING (lower)
Slot 6 - RQDX2
I even tried moving the cards:
Slot 1 - CPU
Slot 2 - Memory (Clearpoint)
Slot 3 - Memory (DEC)
Slot 4 - Bus Grant M9047
Slot 5 - DHV11
Slot 6 - TQK50 (upper) VIKING (lower)
Slot 7 - RQDX2
In the last two configurations VMS sees the disk/floppy controller just
fine but not the tape or serial ports.
Today I will pull the DHV11 and put it in the MV4000 and see if it shows
up just to check if the board is OK.
If there is none, or a faulty, TK50 drive attached the controller does
VMS react to this?
