I have just got a 500au and a 600au. The 600 is a GL and the
500 not as I understand it.

What is the fix for the power switch on the not GLs? It turns off
with no warning or provacation.

Anyone know what a MAchine Check in PAL mode with a PC of c400 is?

tnx.

FYI, a recent exchange

   Mr. Linden:

BTW, David, do you know if there is a way to get a Miata to automatically
power back up after the restoration of Power (following outage) possibly
through the artifice of a soldering iron? Not currently running any of these
(tho still have a GL running Tru64, doesn't have that problem) but was always
curious of any way to remedy Digital's design flaw.

The crude but simple way is to yank the green wire (pin 14) to the power supply, and ground it. If you want the existing power switch to continue to work, it gets more complicated. Now that I have an XP1000, I've largely lost interest in building the gizmo I designed (but never tested) to enhance the old PWS.

Also you can run the 500 at 600 with following switch settings (left to right)

500       0111 1001
600       0010 0101

I tried higher clock rates, but wouldn't boot.
