Hi ,
I have a strange problem which already occurs last Year:
System: 2 PersonalWorklstations 433au running Dunix 4.0c and
a quite new Firmware Installed.
The problem is that in the neighbourhood there was some fire
and we had to send the 2 PWSs 433au to be cleanded.
I am not sure weather the cleaning company has removed
the battery and/or the one eeprom inside - but I am sure they
are on the same places as before.
Getting back the two PWS they are thinking to be PWS 433a and
NOT 433au .
The boot procedure looks like :
Messages like ...
... Press <Alt-Q> for Fast!Util
ISP Firmware Version 2.6
Using IRQ Number 8
AlphaBios 5.68
... after the messages obove a screen appears with a nice picture of the
workstation but abnnouncing a 433a Workstation.
I have never seen this picture and only can do something like
InstallNT ... Trying to set the clock which seems to have a date
like 2027 ... fails.
I just want to get the srm console and get the old ,>>>' - Prompt.
I was already doing a firmware Update to the latest revision
which suceeded but didn't change the behaviour.
Thanks for any hints getting back the old 433au and
a Happy New Year !
Rainer
