NOTE: my problems are at the end of this message, got carried away to the
extent someone might find this to have some useful info :^)
I'm trying to run some tests on my /44 and have been having loads of fun
with my lack of doc's on XXDP+. Note, for people in the same boat, I'd
recommend Pete Turnbull's notes
http://www.dunnington.u-net.com/public/XXDP.ps Though the best help I've
found is having the doc's on the hardware I've tried to test.
The /44 Tech Manual says to run 1-11 of the following tests in order (NOTE:
I added the XXDP+ column).
MAINDEC Operating Title XXDP+ 2.5

CKFPA
||\/|
|| |Indicates a series of diagnostics: A= part 1, B=part 2, C=part 3, etc.
|| | (this is what the PDP-11/44 Tech Manual claims, I'm not convinced
|| | that it was followed)
|| Indicates a specific device tested by the diagnostic:
|| "FP" = Floating Point Diagnostic
|| "RK" = RK05 (disk diagnostic)
|"K" indicates a specific diagnostic for the PDP-11/44 system.
"C" indicates a PDP-11 diagnositic (not used on diagnostic disk pack or
magnetic tape).
<xy> = x = Revision Character (alpha)
y = Patch Number (0-9)
My single biggest problem seems to be stopping a diagnostic once I've
started it. So far I've been resorting to stopping the CPU and rebooting,
but one would think that there must be a better way, and that I've missed
it.
My second problem is the first test, I can't find a KKFA*.* test. Is there
another test I can run on the diagnostic ROM?
#3 is #3, but I think this is proper behavior
CKKABD0 11/44 TRAPS
NO FLOATING POINT OPTION PRESENT
NO CIS OPTION PRESENT
CONSOLE
17777707 023252
>>>
Problem #4 isn't that big a deal, the "M9312/11/44 UBI Boot" diagnostic
complains that the DD and DL ROMS are in as DL and DD, while it wants DD
and DL.
#5 may or may not be a problem with the cache (real problem is my not
knowing how to interpret it).
CKKKAC0 11-44 KK11B CACHE
RMI REGISTER (G5179) NOT USED-SKIP HI ORDER BIT ADDRESS TEST
UNIBUS EXERCISER NOT USED-DMA TESTS NOT PERFORMED
END OF PASS # 1
END OF PASS # 2
END OF PASS # 3
<etc,etc,etc>
I solved #6 by finding and substituting the ZMSPC0 memory test for ZMSDD0.
Opps, guess I didn't try step 11, and 12-14 can't be done at the moment as
the FP11 isn't installed, and I don't have a CIS for #15, 16&17 both
complained.
