Re: CMI III V9.34 not booting

2016-09-17 by daniel.rudin@pixelvampyr.ch

Dear Group,

Thanks to JB Emond i managed to get ahold of a Flash-Floppy-Replacement to get some baby-steps further with getting my CMI back to live..

Now it seems i have a problem with the 'Quasar' parts..

The Diagnostics point to missing interrupts and parity errors on the cpu-ram

Dones anyone have and idea on what is wrong here? Interrupts are being handled by the Q133 i assume, and the party errors point to Q356.. the diagnostics i have only work for Q256, but i think party errors should not arise even if you only check the first part of the Q356 memory

Does anyone have a good image of the newer CMI III Diagnostics? The images that i found are faulty and have a lot of empty files on it, that results in E7 Errors once you start such a .CM executable..

I am eternally grateful if anyone can issue some hints or maybe have some known good cards i could borrow for a few days to compare against mine.. located in switzerland would be perfect, but i'm happy with all i can get..

thanks for your kind support
Daniel
