Re: Looking for VAX6000 items

When we got an 8530 at work in the early 90s (needed a machine with a Nautilus bus for specific hardware testing), it was definitely a 3-phase machine and since we were in an industrial setting, I just tapped into our panel at the back of the warehouse and wired up a 3-phase outlet for it. It

Re: Looking for VAX6000 items

Its going to be interesting for sure. I am currently running some better power into the shop. The requirements for the 6000 is 3 phase. I just finished reassembling the power inlet box and I'm pretty sure it will run fine on 2 phases. I had to trace the right phases to energize the contactor

Looking for Maxtor LXT/MXT series firmware updates / docs

Hi folks, Has anyone happened to squirrel away a copy of the Maxtor/Sequel LXT or MXT series documentation or firmware updates? I've got an LXT200A sat on the bench which seems to have corrupted on-disk firmware -- the firmware version is shown as "1.02BROM" I've got an identical second

Re: VAX4000 VLC diagnostics/console

As far as I can tell, the VLC and Model 60 will boot with a dead DALLAS chip, the Model 90 *WILL NOT* (it hangs on the tests). Having said that, I think you need to leave the VLC plugged in for a bit. It took 2-3 tries to get things going. When I did all my testing about a month and a half
