Miller) Followup-To: comp.misc Organization: Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX Lines: 16 We have had a DEC-10 computer for 14 years. The KA-10 and KI-10 computers have a very large number of DEC FLIP-CHIP modules in the processor bay as well has the channel and controller cabinets. Over time, some of these module back out of their connectors which can lead to intermittent failures. A favorate trick of our engineers is to take a card and ripple it down the rows of logic cards while running diagnostics. When the loose card is found, it will usually stop the diagnostic routine and then the card can be reseated. Richard H. Miller Email: rick@bcm.tmc.edu Asst.
