I'm in the process of sorting out a DEC 3000/600 i acquired last year.
However, the PMAG-E turbochannel framebuffer is sick, for example, if I run
tests from the >>> prompt I get this (some detail removed for brevity):
t 1/vdacsig
?TFL: 1/vdacsig [PMAG-DA] (+2+ Pxl[#0]=555555, R[668bd3]=978bd3,
? G[603023]=3a3023, B[2f0af5]=880af5, vsimm=1?)
ERR-MIPS - ROM OBJECT 'cnsltest' REPORTED A SEVERE ERROR
and
t 1/shade
?TFL: 1/shade [PMAG-DA] (+3+ tri smth shd err, indx= 0, stamp= 0)
ERR-MIPS - ROM OBJECT 'pst-q' REPORTED A SEVERE ERROR
Alas what I don't have right now is a DEC 3w3 cable so I can't see what
the card is doing (if anything). Is there any hope here or has the magic
smoke long since departed?
Cheers,
Pete
