It is possible that you have one G of these boards without the additional software.

It is possible that the VMSG terminal characteristics and your terminal's actual characteristics areKE incompatible.  From the errors you are describing, I would check baudR rate, bits/word, and parity.  

Having the disk at a higher Id thanF the controller may be a problem, from the little I know of SCSI. I may be wrong about that, though.  D I don't suppose you have a backup of your system disk that you could* restore from and try booting THAT up, huh?  H Also, when your term. goes bonkers, try resetting it through setup. SomeB else suggested trying other baud rates - maybe even try other dataF formats. If this allows you to communicate normally with your machine,H see what ANALYSE/DISK/NOREPAIR has to say about your system disk. If youB already have a network setup, try to connect via LAT or TELNET (asF appropriate) and see if that will allow you to explore the system from your terminal.  ; First though, I'd try the restore, if you have that option.O   -- f David J.
