1328.0. "DEFTA and VME cause timeout?" by RT93::LAROCCO () Mon May 02 1994 09:18

    I have a DECstation 5900 with a VME adapter in turbo slot 0, and 
    DEFTA's in slots 1 and 2.  The VME goes to a MASPAR (massively
    parallel) computer.
    
    When the external cable to the VME in NOT plugged in, both DEFTA's come
    up ok.  When the cable is plugged in, DEFTA #1 comes up ok, but DEFTA
    #2 takes ~30 seconds to come up, and I get a self test failure and a
    "Unable to initialize network adapter" message.  Apparently the card is
    still usable, because I get to the link available state and I am able
    to tx and rx.
    
    Any ideas?
    
    Thanks, Andy
