Folks -
I have this quasi-dead 3/260 sitting in a machine room downstairs from my
office. It has what appears to be a dead frame buffer. Pulling that
board resulted in it happily talking to a serial console whilst in diag
mode. Unfortunately, every attempt to talk to any device on the VME (as
opposed to the main board) results in a bus timeout. So, it appears that
I need to reconfigure the backplane.
Heh - unfortuantely, I have zero manuals for this puppy. So, can a VME
expert point me at the info I need? It has a mainboard, 2 Xylogics
controllers (2 xy disks and 1 xt tape...), and what appears to be a
memory board...
Thx...
