(PDP-1134a extended) Message-ID: <1991Jun16.004606.10658@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu> Date: 16 Jun 91 00:46:06 GMT Sender: sspatter@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu (Samuel S Patterson) Organization: Engineering Computer Network, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK Lines: 53 Thanks to everyone who sent me addresses for booting the PDP-1134a. Seems I'm gonna need a bit more help though. Still won't boot... Decided to go through all my manuals and check to see if possibly some cards were missing ... What I found out was that I have no idea... This poor thing was upgraded too many times... I needc to know what some of the cards do because I can't find them in any of my manuals and I need to know if I need any other cards to boot it up... So here they go... ------------------------Mystery Cards------------------------ P/N1210711 This card has 44 chips on it and room for another 132... can't figure out what it does though... Here's the stuff off the front of the chips too if it helps any: TMS 4532-20 ZA1033-A3 P8044-P M9312 This one has a 3-wire cable running to the console... Rev D11 0066 I am totally !cxlue to what this one does. Not even sure that is the card number. It's just the closest thing I found... it has 4 26 pin connecters and 1 64 pin connect or in. M7762 This one is connected to my drive cable so I figure it's some controller but I can';t find it in any of my books.. M8267 This one is plugged in next to the M8265 and M8266 cards and has jumpers, connecting it to them. I suspected it was some kind of coprocessor but the chips on it look more like RAMchips... --------------------------The Rest------------------- M9302 M9202 M7856 (2 of them) M7859 M8265 & M8266 And 2 serial connection cards... ---------------------------------------------------- Also I was wondering if I really need to have flip chips in every slot that has a blank place in the 3rd slot from the back... ----------------------------------------------------- I'd really appreciate any info anyone can give me on this stuff. I'm more of a programmer than a tech...
