Message-ID: <9007022144.AA16773@buit2.bu.edu> Date: 2 Jul 90 21:44:55 GMT Sender: news@daver.bungi.com Lines: 32 Approved: news@daver.bungi.com I got the remaining parts I needed from Steve today I get as far as the LEDs on, but no sign of RS232 (on terminal or breakout). My terminal (at vt62(!)) can be picky about control lines, so I've jumpered 5&8 to 20 (CD&CTS to DTR) on the breakout and all the lights on the terminal seem normal. (CTS and Carrier lit). Here is my setup; 2 2681's installed (first and last -- U48 and U60) serial connector on CONN3 with a 3 wire cable: CONN3 DB25 3 3 5 2 9 7 One RS232 driver in U47 4 1Mx9 SIMMs in U6,U8,U10,U12 No 280's installed, Parity PAL not installed No FPU installed 20MHz osc on CPU (U25) AIC6250 and DP8490 installed J1 between 2&3 J2 between 2&3 I've made only 1 dubious substitution (74F00) but I can't imagine this makes any difference running at 40% of full speed. Voltages on the +12V and +5V rails measure 12.17V and 5.11V with my cheap digital VOM (the only test equipment I own). No external loads (disks) on 12V. I see about 1mm clearance between the '532 and its socket.
