Kyle, One of the hesitations I had in saying "8300 support" is that I have only a single test machine.
The hardware is very different between 8201 and 8300. From the sounds of this, since things are essentially fine in 8201 (errors created in 8300 are caught and cleaned up in 8201), I think what is happening is that the key timing signal 8300 is different in signal characteristics (rise time, etc) and that throws off REX. This exact issue caused me to have to redesign REX to support T200. I can't verify because, I don't have more than 1 system and it is working. Fred Whitaker is might be having a similar issue. I'm copying the list here as I think "8300 support" is officially on hold until I learn more and can replicate the problem here. REXNEC is really REX8201. So, sorry about that - if you want to return your REX please do so. cheers, Steve On Mon, Apr 13, 2015 at 7:00 PM, kyle jenne <[email protected]> wrote: > Steve, > Did some more testing after first received. > Works fine in an NEC-8201A but I cannot get it to function > in an 8300, I have 2 of them. > In an 8300 after the Install procedure, If I go to refresh the > current image as directed (from 8300 menu or REX menu), the progress bar > goes along looks like full lengh, > then the computer locks up. > I then press reset, back at main 8300 menu, reselect REXMGR. > If I reselect the current image I get "unexpected image- recovering" , > progress bar then lockup. > I reset again, goto REXMGR, I have an image called " recover" > If I select it I believe it says Model mismatch or something. > Anytime something is happening with the progress bar, computer will lockup. > Never get even as far as the first step of refreshing to a good image of > the machine. > > I have even done a cold restart and put 8300 into 8201 mode (out 163,2) > before attempting to reinstall with no luck.Tried it with 2 machines. > Even turn on the protect switch to hide the second bank, never any luck. > > I then put it back in my 8201, reinstall, no problems seems fine. > I see the "reciver'images and delete (kill) them. > The 8201 acts just fine no problems. > > I guess its possible there is something wrong with these > 2 8300s , got them used off e-bay but in beautiful condition > and seem to work fine. > Never done a memory test, or any extensive full testing of them. > They both act exactly the same symptoms > when trying to get REX working.
