[net.general] OOPS J11 chipset

scw@cepu.UUCP (Stephen C. Woods) (11/02/84)

OOPS! When I posted my article about the J11 chip set, I left out one
instruction from the diagnostic. This will cause the diagnostic to
always fail (even on good chips). The missing instruction is a cfcc
(Copy Floating Condition Codes) that should be between the
cmpd	(r2),ac0
			and the
beq	102$ 
I also discovered a couple of small errors in my transcription of the
letter from DEC, the have also been corrected.  I have reposted the
entire (corrected) article to net.sources.bugs.

I'd like to thank Paul McKenney (mckenney@orstcs.UUCP) for pointing
this error out to me.

For those of you that didn't see the first article:
DEC has discovered a problem affecting ~9% of the J11 chips made before
May 1,1984.  I have (re)posted a large article to net.sources.bugs discussing
the problem. The article contains diagnostics and the hotline number from DEC.
