OK, I have my Microvax II KA-630 (thanks Carlos) and I now need to
completely understand it. I have discovered the follow boards are in
it:
KA-630 (CPU w/FPU and 1 Meg RAM)
Nemonix NXII-16 (half filled, Meg of RAM)
M7608 RAM (4Meg I think)
M7516 (DELQA Ethernet adapter)
M7555 (2x MFM Disk controller)
SI Part # 981-4617 (ESDI board? SCD-RQD11/EC)
RCI - Recognition Concepts INC. NO 100220 - Has a TRW 1007J1C3 8451/AP
(Analog?)
M5976-SA KZQSA (SCSI)
Ok this machine has 1 MFM drive (~50M) and another drive (which I haven't
kooed up yet). I hope to build the IDE interface in the next few months
to save money on the drives. I can get a 760M ESDI drive for ~$300(US).
Now the SCSI is borrowed from a BA213 (hence the SA) I intend on knocking
out the rivets and making it usable in both machines. I may also upgrade
the Nemonix to 15M to get a full 16M. I already have 3 2.5G SCSI (and a 9G
SCSI-3 drive, yea I know ...).
Does anyone recognize the SI board or the RCI board? What is the minimum
size drive for loading VMS 7.2? Any other thoughts? My fingers are itching
to learn VMS?
One other question, what command do I need to remount the drives on a
Microvax II? My machines go off line and I don't know what commands to
type to get them back.
Thanks.
