    Customer has a DEC3000 Model 800 and he is trying to install a
    PMAB-BF.
    
    On post, getting  ?? TC1 301 TC1 24-PMAGB-BA or
                                     64-PMAGB-BA
    
    System is running AXP VMS 7.1
    System firmware was upgraded using 3.8 Alpha Firmware Update CD
    I assume the console code is 6.9 since the customer used the
    Alpha Firmware Update 3.8 CD.
    
    After DECwindows tries to start, he sees the display/text but has
    white lines on the screen.
    
    He has tried (2) PMAGB-BF modules.  Both act the same.
    
    What does a -PMAGB-BA and 64-PMAGB-BA mean?
    
    
    In the WRKSYS::ALPHASTATION notes file note 1842 mentions problems
    with SYS$GXADRIVER.   Does this apply here?

| The pmagb-bf is probably not responding to the mips init command correctly. The firmware detects it as a pmagb-ba and issues a self test command. The 24/64 is the error code that occured during the self test. Error code 24 - indicates vram error 64 - indicates a color pattern error Is this a third party card ? Is it supported on birds? - Sridhar. | |||||
