Hi Chen,
I usually work with the PMAC i-variables rather than writing directly to memory (just slightly less obscure!).
The ones I would check are I90..I99 - just to double check your memory writes worked as you expected. Also if you post the values of those here it might be easier for someone to help you.
In particular, check I93 and I94 (VME mailbox base address) - in your case looks like they should be $80 and $7F respectively.
Also double check that the PMAC is really properly inserted into the VME crate, if it is not seated well that can cause problems too.
Good luck!
Emma
