I also have a QD32. I have Emulex diagnostics, but on a TK50, and I don't have an image, nor do I have any diagnostic documentation. However, when I ran the diagnostic (many YEARS ago) on my uVax II (FVD32M) it was self-explanatory. The tape is VX9962004 Rev J. My notes say: FQD01M is the MSCP FORMAT program for a QD32 (and QD01 and SC03) for a PDP-11. FVD32M is the MSCP FORMAT program for a QD32 (and QD01 and SC41 and SC03) on a uVax. So this is the one you want. HELP is supposed to give help. DIR is supposed to list the diagnostics. > > > Is there by any chance also a diagnostic manual for this stuff? > > Christian > There is an Emulex QD32 manual on bitsavers, but it doesn't seem to have any info on the diagnostics.
