Good, the console is working. > CLR > LAD > DEP OK, that loads a '0' (halt) in 0. > CNTRL+INIT > CNTRL+START -> reads 000002 OK, so it reads the HALT at 0 and stops. > CNTRL+BOOT -> Run light is on, SR Disp light is on > CNTRL+HLT reads 173150 Sounds like it may be looping in the high bank of ROM? That's not necessarily wrong. I finally figured out what the ROMs in the M9312 do; the ROMs at 765000 are the first-level diagnostic, and the console. The bootstrap code for the various devices is at 773000. > 773024 LAD, 773000 DEP, BUS ERR light comes on. That makes sense; you can't write to the ROM. > Any suggestions? i) Check the ROM contents; there are two kinds of M9312 console ROMs, one for most CPUs, and one for the 11/60 and 11/70, see the tech manual for the M9312. So read out the first couple of words: CLR 765000 LAD EXAM EXAM etc and let's see what they read. ii) Try starting the console code directly: CLR 765020 LAD CNTRL+START > I have other M9312s I could try. Can't hurt. Noel
