A missing SYSLOA usually means you've tried to boot on hardware that the release doesn;t know about.

Just like the old days. Times were different then :-) Wasn't the FIELD account password SERVICE? I recall when a DEC FE came a day early and he was quite put out because we had changed all the defaults. Back in the days when VMS was still relevant enough for people to care, changing all those passwords was one of the first things on the DISA STIGs for VMS. When I did my tour at DISA it was interesting how many places were found to have not changed them. bill

SS Voyager: DC / DC Board
I’ve been rehabilitating a SparcStation Voyager when I get time (of which I seem to have some now). The display did work off and on but doesn’t show anything now. As per the troubleshooting docs, I check the DC/DC board voltages but the service manual (from oracle!) has wire colors that bear no resemblance to my board. I found a pin that starts out at 12v but decays fairly quickly. Does anyone know if the pin3=12v, 4=5v, 5=5v, 6,7,8=gnd and 9=3.3 from the manual is correct? This one voltage that drops to zero after initially showing 12v - is that a reasonable symptom for a bad power supply? Is that kind of thing fixable? I don’t expect I’ll be able to find a replacement board. I don’t see any blown capacitors or expressed smoke. I’m not sure how the pin counting is supposed to go for this 10 pin molex power connector. The female side on the main board looks from the top like: O O \-/ Where the little thing at the bottom is the locking tab. The power board itself has a line of wires coming out, and they are numbered 1-11 with #10 not connected. But again, the color of those wires don’t seem to bear any resemblance to the manual. On the off chance: anybody have a spare DC/DC converter for a Sparcstation Voyager that they want to unload cheap? Part number is, I think 300-1234. Cheers, —sma
update: stuff for sale - recent move
Just wanted to remind everyone I've still got a bunch of stuff listed that I'd like to pass on. I've been slowly going through stuff. Recently added stuff is here, in reverse chronological order. This should make it easier to stay caught up on newly listed stuff. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19vhF-o6vx9g7l-D8cvLJ5OPJzpdmU9PTTknbxY-mY58/edit#gid=245203856 Full list of categories here, follow the hyperlinks to see the individual items. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19vhF-o6vx9g7l-D8cvLJ5OPJzpdmU9PTTknbxY-mY58/edit#gid=0 I'm located in the west suburbs of chicago in case anyone is local. Maybe you need a nubus ethernet card, or a jetdirect card for your HP laserjet. Or maybe you need some Bell telephone themed jewelry for the mrs. If you see something you're interested in, let me know and we can work out a price. So far, I've generally been looking at 1/2 ebay sold listings + cost of shipping. You're always free to make a higher or lower offer, I won't get offended if your offer is too low. Sales are first come, first served.

I'm starting to go through it all because I know there's a good mixture of stuff I want and stuff I don't want but may be useful to someone else.

Alternatively, I'm in the west suburbs of chicago if anyone local wants to pick something up. Quick run down of what I've got posted so far: -a couple DEC Alpha items (RAM and SCSI caddy stuff, possibly a couple drives later) -HP jetdirects for laserjet 4/5 (standalone to come later) -a KVM or two (more to come) -Mac network cards (nubus and one for IIsi or SE/30) as well as a couple other accessories (Dayna Mini Etherprint, AAUI transceiver, more accessories to come) -misc cables/adapters, if you have something specific in mind, let me know -PSU - mostly just some random ATX PSUs -a few telephone accessories (more to come) -ISA, PCI, PCI-X, PCIe cards (network, video, SCSI, FC) -possibly notable, Compaq ELSA GLoria Synergy graphics cards for Alpha PWS? If anyone has further questions, wants pics, more description, testing of item before sale, etc. feel free to contact me on or off list (if on list, please CC me, I'll see it quicker) or on Freenode IRC (nick is joe_z). As I recently moved, I don't have 24/7 internet available as of right now, but once I do I'll have a bouncer on IRC 24/7. Best Regards, Joe Z
