RAM
March Test -
The
RAM
march test writes a background
of
Os,
then marches a 1 through
it. This leaves a background
of
Is through which a 0
is
marched. This subtest has a delay
inserted in it so
that
the
RAM
refresh hardware
is
also tested.
Failing Test
Printout:
Expected
XXXXXXXX
2.4 CONSOLE MODES
Received
XXXXXXXX
Immediately following the completion
of
the self-test, the
CPU
enters one
of
three modes depending upon
whether a tape cartridge
is
inserted into a
TU58
tape drive unit and whether
that
tape contains the console
or microdiagnostic files.
The
mode entered
is
indicated
by
the console terminal.
It
prints either the
ROM
idle loop prompt
(ROM»,
the console
I/O
mode prompt
(»»,
or the micromonitor mode prompt
(MIC».
If
no tape cartridge
is
inserted into either tape drive unit, the
CPU
enters the
ROM
idle loop mode and the
console terminal prints the
ROM>
prompt.
The
console subsystem stays in
ROM
idle mode until a
CTRL/C
is
typed. When
CTRL/C
is
typed, the console subsystem performs the self-test again and then
looks for a tape cartridge in one
of
the drives.
If the console file
(CONSOL.EXE)
is
found on the tape cartridge inserted into a tape drive unit, the
console terminal produces a printout similar to Example
2-1
and the
CPU
enters the console
I/O
mode.
