Hi All.
I'm taking my first stumbling steps into the world of VAXen and VMS.
Before I sink my teeth in the bigger machines I have, I've decided to
see if I can get my VAXStation 4000/90A to run.
It seems mostly okay, I can boot the VMS cd I have. But there is one
message that concerns me. During the self test I get this:
?? 000 8 SYS 0512
That last number is not hex, if I type the following
>>>show err
I get
?? 000 8 SYS 0200
And I guess 0200 is hex.
Either way, in the manuals I have found, I can read that the test for
device number 8 is checking the systems ROMs and that this indicates a
checksum or read error. The error code shown is not listed in the
manuals. Should I worry about this? Can it be remedied?
Kind Regards,
Pontus.
