I had this recently and it turned out to be a misplaced card on the Qbus. In
other words not in the proper serpentine order. Check the Qbus sequence and
also try removing some cards.

I'll check that, thankS!
Qbus card ordering confuses me a bit.

Hello all,

I'm trying to get a MicroVAX II to cluster with MORIA.   It's not going so
well:
MOIRA::CSMELOSKY$

MOYA

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.
