9100FT U36 NVRAM archive?
Has anyone backed up their NVRAM XC1765 U36 on a 9100FT? Mine appears to have been corrupted and my 9100FT won't boot with it. Mine is labeled "U36 V1.0", 8-pin device. No PDFs online that are easily found with standard search, need to dig out my old Xilinx book. I have uploaded it: ftp://ttl.arcadetech.org//home/mirrors/flippers/TTL/Test_Equipment/Fluke/9100%20Series/9100base/9100FT_U36_XC1765_V1-0-may-be-corrupt.zip The zipped previously marked as U36 archive on TTL in the same directory was incorrectly labeled, it was actually the EPROM U26, not the NVRAM U36. I have fixed the file name and text message inside. Thanks, John :-#)# -- How to subscribe or unsubscribe from TTL http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist@flippers.com https://pairlist7.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ttl.arcadetech.org/TTL/Test_Equipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/

I will try dumping mine early next week, unless someone gets to it before me.

I have uploaded it: (not corrupt - renamed)

False alarm Turns out it was something else that stopped the boot process. My NVRAM appears to be valid after all. I will update the file name on TTL. Also, the SCSI2SD Rv5 does not work on the FT, the RV3 does, as does the Aztec Monster. Not sure why, RV3 has the same SD card as the RV5 I tried, but the 5 just locked up the machine. Worked once or twice, but mostly locked up when it gets to the load the operating system.

This was tickling my memory the other day. I have definitely experienced weirdness with the SCSI2SD v5 on FT machines, but not consistently. On one machine, I experienced lockups until I removed the terminating resistors and switched to a three-connector cable with a terminator plugged into the end. I haven’t tried any of the other versions. Another FT machine worked flawlessly with a SCSI2SD right out of the box. Maybe certain revs of the MFA card are sensitive, and/or the terminating resistor packs being towards the top/bottom end of their tolerance makes it flake out. -- Ian
