Yeah, I hate it when ebay gets creative. It usually ends up screwing the 
customers/buyers.

KDJ11 misfeature

2018-07-08 Thread Noel Chiappa via cctalk
So, it appears that the KDJ11 (definitely the -A, and probably all of them)
cannot execute code from the PARs - one gets a NXM trap. (Definitely the
kernel I PARs, I haven't checked all 6 sets, but I can't see why they others
would be any different.) Has anyone else run into this, so I can be sure I'm
not confused?

This is a mild pain, because it's nice to be able to put short 'scope loops in
them, either to debug a memory card when you don't have any working memory
plugged in, or when you don't want the bus 'contaminated' with instruction
fetch cycles, etc.

Re: Making a bootable LIF CD for the 9000/382

Closing this out, pretty much any Apple SCSI drive (MATSUSHITA CR-50x) from the 
600i to 24x will boot the installer
when set to unit 0, parity enabled.

I was testing against some broken carrier-load ancient CDROM drives, of which I 
did finally get the oldest HP to work
(a Toshiba XM-3201)

The notes and naming on bitsavers have been cleaned up, and I added a CD with a 
tarball of the '98 Y2K patches.
