FA: MicroVAX 3100-30 Parts Machine NR
Folks,
I just posted my first auction on eBay. Search for "Microvax" - not many
hits these days. The URL is too long to post here. This box complains
about an unexpected interrupt during the POST and then won't boot. Maybe
someone can fix it, I'm not going to mess with it.
I have three more I'll be posting soon. None of them have any disks
(that's how I got them). One's another "parts machine" and two more will
boot if I hook up an RRD42 to them. Still have another six(6) units to
evaluate before I prepare them in TurboLister.
I'm just selling these for the shipping cost; so, mention that you saw
this post in the newsgroup if you're the winner, and I'll credit the
$9.99 Buy-It-Now price to the shipping charges. Otherwise, it's a 7-day
auction ending next Saturday around 20:00:00 or so CDT (18:00:00 PDT).
Aw, WTH - Here's the URL... (sorry if it wraps)
http://cgi.ebay.com/MicroVAX-3100-30...QQcmdZViewItem
P.S.:
The RRD42 is a John Wisniewski legacy: have gave it to me at DECUS one
year. We miss you, John...

At which length is the URL too long for you?

So far I have four of them. One with 4MB, three with 8MB. Still have
two(2) more units to check out, and one more DOA.
BTW: I also have an InfoServer-100 with two RRD42s in it. Dunno how to
go about testing that, but I'll do what I can and see what I come up
with. Any advice would be welcome.

Re: FA: MicroVAX 3100-30 Parts Machine NR
To test a InfoServer 100 do this
Just like the VAX plug the cable into the MMJ port next to the serial
port
Just like the VAX it will count down. Since its not connected to your
network
you will get the >>>. Do a show device.
More then likely you will have either a RZ23/24 drive
check for this
BFLG D0000000
Halt 2
boot device dka100,dka200 (the 2 RDD42)
the RZ2X will be DKA0
If everything is okay then just type
>>>B dka0
If the drive has the Infoserver software installed it will come up.If
the Infoserver ask for a
password the default password is ESS (uppper or lower)
hope this helps
ps
I still use 5 InfoServers
