After looking around on the net for a Dec MMJ terminal cable and finding
conflicting sources for their pinouts, I figured it would be just easier to
drive the 225mi round trip to dig around again int my favorite scrapper's
junk piles... As luck would have it, I did find 4 of the cables and two
RJ?? to db25 adapters.
So... I speed home and hook up a few of the VaxStation 3100's for a virgin
spin via the(MMJ) console and get:
KA43-A V1.3
F...E...D...C...B...A...9...8...7...6...5...4...3_...2_...1?...
? C 0080 0000.40001
?? 1 00C0 0000.7004
>>>
I'm guessing this is a memory or media fault but I'm not sure... Anyone?
Also, I finally opened rack #4 of the 11/44 system
http://users.leading.net/~dogas/classiccmp/digital/pdp1144.htm )
I picked up that was supposedly empty... And inside is a SC008 Star Coupler
and User Manual! A little happy dance ensued, of course, but I thought
these things were just for vax clusters. Can a 44 be a node along side
MicroVAXen ???
I also found a reference on the web
http://www.tapr.org/tapr/html/internethistory/slide10.html ) that asserts
that tcp was first written for a 44 too, is that true?
Sorry for all the dec boneheadedness.
Thanks
