Yes, I do realize the 7925's are oldies, but I'd still like to use them
for 'fast' removable storage...
Anyways, my question/concern. I have a 7925 master drive, and a slave
(don't use the slave). The other day, when trying to install MPE/V
again, I accidentally shutoff the unit before putting it in STOP
position. And ACG (AGC?) fault light went on, and I properly shut the
system down, and the fault went away. Now, when using the unit,
every time I try to boot from the 7925, I get a HALT -- Uncorrectable
Error from the 3000 midway through the boot. I've tried 3 different disk
packs, all seem to show the same thing.
I'm wondering... is this Uncorrectable Error a drive fault, and should
I just pitch the thing, or could it be that I have bad disk packs? And,
if I need to pitch the thing, how difficult would it be for me to gut the
master, and make the slave into a master drive?
I have a pair of Eagles recently donated to the school that I'm
currently working off of. The Eagles were a pain to get up and running,
as the system seemed to crash midway through the system installation.
I'm running a S/42, with 7978 tape, currently 1 Eagle online, running
MPE/V G.A3.07 (V Delta 7). I don't have enough power to keep the 7925's
and the 7937's online at the same time with the tape, so I power down the
one set to bring up the other. All equipment was donated.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
