Overview

A collection of tips for working with KDJ11 CPU boards.

Failed Tests

The KDJ11-B includes a variety of diagnostics in ROM that run on boot. When a test fails, there is a hidden option to bypass the test and continue. Simply press Ctrl-O (the letter, not the number zero), then 4, then ENTER. This will continue on, halting at the next failed test or at the boot menu.

The cache may be bypassed by setting bit nine of the Cache Control Register (CCR) located at 017777746. In ODT:
