Hello All , My Micro Vax 4000 (QBUS) just arrived in town . So hopefully at least someone (me) will be putting a biot more noise onto the list over the next few months .
Great! :) Thank you ... :) They need a sarcastic bowing winky .
Before I do tho , Is there any Good or Bad news to share ?
I am still around. Not sure whether that is good news or bad news though... ;) Imo , It is ;-) .
My tentative plan is to go ahead with some VAX/Linux work once I am finished with the 53C94/53CF96-2 driver. This has been stalled for several months now and meanwhile the time subsystem got completely broken for the DECstation, so I suppose I need to fix that first. We shall see... Very cool . Sorry to hear that . I'll bet you'll have those done before I get this silly ka660 booting ...
Do you have any specific areas you plan to work on? I had been trying to get the Ka660 to boot . I added some things to the tree , I believe Jan-Benedict put those changes in sometime ago , to attempt to get the ka660 booting , But I've been getting a (*) error . And the "EK-KA660-TM-001 KA660 CPU Module Technical Manual" which is available online doesn't have any of the Appendices . The ka650 I have was able to boot & mount a nfs home directory . But it's still in storage until I can get my house built . Just not enough power here where I am renting .
