Hello netters,
a hardware question here, but I don't know any better place.
I own an old microvax II with 6 MB RAM. Now I found a cheap 8MB board 
and quickly removed the grant continuity card and the 1 MB board from 
the first slot after the cpu (BA23-cabinet) and put the 8 MB (Caminton 
is the producer) in.
Well, the vax comes gracefully to the '>>>'-prompt, but won't find the 
secondary boot, aka. test 2 and test 1 fails.
Whenever the cpu tries the test 2 all leds at the DELQUA, go out and 
wont go on again until the power is cycled.
Since the memory test (6) went good and the board did run in another 
myvax, I have no idea what problem I have now.
Any help or suggestion?
Thanx,
