Regards managers,

We have problems connecting an external Micropolis 1936 to a Alphastation
600. Assuming the three different cables and the two external terminators we
have tried are not all corrupt I have to look elsewhere. The disk just don't
show up when doing a 'sho dev' in SRM console mode. Also, the local DEC
representative have tried getting things right but no luck just yet. I assume
he also checked the internal terminators. I have tried connecting the disk to
a SGI machine and there it showed up just fine. Do I have to perform some
tricks from the 'ecu' software or fiddle with some unknown SRM variables or
what ??

P.s We have tried to connect the disk both to the narrow and the wide bus
connectors at the back, no luck ...
