Hi Cory,

You don't happen to use a Cisco switch when you connect the MicroVAX to your LAN?

Yes, actually. There Are 2 Cisco switches in the way.

Kari

Hello all,

I'm trying to get a MicroVAX II to cluster with MORIA.   It's not going so

The moment it joins the cluster, it immediately loses connectivity.
There's between 5 and 10 milliseconds of latency between the two...but
that shouldn't matter...should it?

As I don't have a SCSI Qbus adapter, and I didn't get the TK50+TQK50 with
it, I can only MOP boot it.   60M disk is also not a lot.
