I am trying to get my new 240 going. Unfortunately all the diagnostic LEDs stay lit. From when I had a previous DECstation 5000/240 I found a note that I fixed this by resetting the NVRAM with a jumper. Unfortunately I did not record which jumper where, and I can't find mention of this in any

HP 300-series boot rom archive?

Hi all -- I picked up a small lot of HP 300 gear yesterday and I'm working on getting them going. In particular, I have a 9000/350 that I'd like to use but it has what appears to be a very early boot ROM (dated 7/9/87, version A2) and it doesn't recognize the 98658 SCSI controller I'd like
