Hello,
I just turned on my VAX today and noticed that as it was testing my RAM,
it really slowed down at the last two blocks. "show mem" at the
bootloader gives me:
>>> SHOW MEM
MEM_TOP = 00800000
MEM_BOT = 00000000
MEM_NOT_AVAIL
-----------------
007C3400:007FFFFF
Is this indicating faulty RAM? This is somewhat puzzling for me as, IIRC,
I only have onboard RAM. The "show config" says this about my RAM:
DEVNBR DEVNAM INFO
------ -------- -------------------------
5 MEM ?? 001 0072
8MB = SY=8MB, S0/1=0MB, S2/3=0MB, S4/5=0MB
I know nothing about VAX hardware - does the SY mean that it's onboard?
Thank you for your time,
