There's something about how we encode hose > numbers in 4.x that breaks ncr/sym cards (this is no longer a problem > in 5.x). Probably not. For some reason, there's one SCSI connector on board for one of the NCR53C810's (seemingly), because the CD-ROM shows up on hose1 on a(n) NCR53C810 and it's plugged directly into this slot. I could remove the NCR/DECchip combo card entirely, but then I wouldn't have any ethernet connection! Even when that card was plugged into hose0, the CD-ROM still showed up on a(n) NCR53C810 on hose1!? Is it standard to have one controller built on to the motherboard of an AS1200? > You cut and paste from your terminal emulator, or console-server log > file. ;-) Unfortunately, I've got a Digital VT220 plugged into it, not another machine. I can probably scavenge up something to plug into it (I'm sure we have a laptop or something around here to do that). > In general, having direct output from the console is immensely useful > to those trying to help and, as a result, tends to generate much better > feedback for the person with the problem. I can understand that. I'll be more than happy to provide it at this point if you think it will help. But like I said, with that one NCR53C810 showing up on hose1 regardless of what I do, I'm not sure I can move anything onto hose0 and still have things boot. I guess I can pull every card in the machine and give you a 'show device' or 'show conf' from SRM.
