Re: Twinax console refuses to give signon screen - Saga Continues

Yes.  I will admit that it is very odd.

The reload is what I am attempting to do now.  I am IPL'ing from "D", 
Manual with the Base CD in the drive.  It churns away for a while and 
then I get the A600 5001 SRC.  The diagnostics I found at the Infocenter 
says "Install the wrap plug on the IOA. The 2745 wrap plug label is QQ". 
This is used to perform a diagnostic on the card itself, I think.  Seems 
to me that that these wrap plugs were, at one time, included but I 
haven't been able to locate one.  Perhaps my memory is faulty on this.

I don't recall changing the settings (since I am the only one using this 
system) and the fact that I get the SRC when loading from CD tells me 
that it may be the card.  I would just like to make sure that that is 
the case so I am not chasing my tail on this.

More research work to be done.  I'll also start looking for a card.
