Hi all,
My question is very simple...
Who have good method for test and dianostic NeXTDimension board ?
I have NeXTDimension (PAL version) but it's not to detect by NeXTStep (3.1 and 3.2). :(
I use http://www.channelu.com/NeXT/Black/NextDimension.tar.gz but I have and another bad message :(
<< i860 init failed. Did not see the flag indicating that the i860 EEPROM code finished. CSR = 0x4002. >>
Look screen copy :
And specialy :
After I read the boot log message here :
And I read first kill bad message :evil:

Quote from: "emond"Hi all,Hmmm, there were some diagnotics up on the channelu site. Was that what you ran? Other than that, I know of nothing.

You might pull the dimension board and look over it carefully. Reseat the eprom (if it's socketed - I don't remember).
The eproms are getting into the failure region now (begins at ~10-15 years). We really need to get some prom dumps saved on the various sites.

Yes I read the message :
But where find the NeXTDiment EEPROM dump file ???
Who have this file ?
On my NeXTDiment the EEPROM is welded.
But in the NeXTDimension tools, I found software for change (upload/flash) the contents of NeXTDimension eeprom... Is a way ;) But I need the bin file :(
