Here's a good one.
I have an 11/44, which is supposed to boot RSTS-E from an RA81.
Since the SDI cable is inverted at each connector, I am using one cable.
I removed the cables attached to the drive, and detached the cables
attached to that little box at the bottom of the rack, and attached those
to the drive. I have a direct connection between UDA50 and the RA81.
I spin up the RA, let it get to READY, and then boot the machine.
I tell ODT to B DU0.
When the RA has A or B selected, it does absolutely nothing. When both
are selected, the drive spins down, and doesn't reset. I have to push
RUN/STOP twice to spin it back up. It doesn't give me a FAULT.
The RA has passed all the diagnostics, I plugged a terminal.
This is very probably my screw-up. What did I do wrong?
