Thanks for this information, Patrick.
I guess, I'll have to wait for such a VAX, I haven't one yet ;-)


Currently, I'm setting up my 11/24.
It comes with an RL02.
Yesterday, I worked on it a bit, checking grant and bus continuity, everything's fine now.
I found out the bootstrap adress for the RL02 (BOOT Proms are located on the Unibus Map Module (KT24)) and gave it a try,
with the RL02 disconnected.
No problems with typing in digits with the VT420 terminal.

This morning, the 11/24 apparently don't accepts commands from the terminal, why ?

On the CPU-Board, the CLK-LED is always illuminated, even when I press the Boot-button. Then, the RUN - und the PROC-LED
turns on for a moment, that's all.

Yesterday, when I typed in the bootstrap adress of the diagnostics-PROM, the 1 - LED turned on.
The 0 - LED always remained off.

Today, no typing in is possible.

When I press the boot-button, I obtain something like _at_000002

I need to know the meanings of the LEDs on the CPU-Board.
Can anyone give me some help ?
In the Maintenance-Card, the functions of the LEDs are described but it doesn't appear to be on the net somewhere...

Thanks alot in advance !

Pierre
