Check the MFIO board… If memory serves there is a small fuse that looks kind of like a two legged transistor in a socket on the board. If that’s blown the SCSI part of the board won’t function.

Several suggestions, all proved fruitless.

I have double checked all cables, made sure the SLT in the tape drive was "on line" before needed and even replaced the processor board.  No change.

After responding to the "boot from primary path" and "interact with IPL" questions, I get the "Booting..."

message and then the errors listed below.

I was hoping someone could shed some light on the source/cause of the status messages.

I'm working at home this week trying to get my 927LX back up and running and it won't boot.

I have tried booting from both the primary and alternate paths with the same result.

 

Booting ...

 

Entry_Test  Status = 0

Failed to Initialize

 

Entry_Init Status = -4

Anyone able to shed some light on this?  I have a spare processor board, should I install it?

 

Please post any replies to my home email account, since that is where I am this week.
