Hi everyone,
I purchased this DEC 3000, MODEL 300X Workstation (DEC OSF/1 BASE 2USR DEC 3300), running ultrix.
The machine used to work fine, but suddenly it is unable to boot up, because it fails in the initial
power tests. I have visually checked the outside connections, and my knowledge does not allow me to
do much else. The following is the exact output, after I switch it on:
DEC 3000 - M300X

. . . . . ETC ETC
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . . . .
MCHK+0A0 = 00000000.0011B518 FINALLY (LAST ROW)
After this point the system is "hung", and the keyboard is stuck...There is not anything
I can think of doing, except turning it off and then back on, but the same thing happens.
I would really appreciate your input,
George P.
