I have the same problem with a IIci.  Before purchasing the (Universal)
PowerCache 50, I obtained an evaluation unit with an older version of the
control software.  I didn't have any problems at all with that configuration.
Only when I installed the "new" PowerCentral software with the unit that I
recently purchased did I begin to see this problem.  Even the PowerDemo
doesn't work!  I have spoken with two tech. support people at Daystar, but
they haven't been able to give me any useful feedback.

If you find out more about this please let me know!

Well, df just reports disk space on mounted file systems. As you suspect,
the partition on slice 3 isn't mounted.

You'll need to do this. And yes, the way to do this is via /etc/fstab.

You'll need to add the device file, mount point and "other stuff" a al:

Subject: Need more SLIP advice
Keywords: SLIP
Date: 12 Aug 92 20:34:37 GMT
Organization: AT&T

My SLIP problems get more interesting....

Per Jim Jagielski's suggestion I got and installed the bpf (Berkeley
Packet Filter) so I could peek at the packet headers on my supposedly
working SLIP connection. [For those who missed the initial post, I
can dial-up my SLIP server and start the protocol on both ends with
no error messages but then nothing (ping, telnet, ftp) works.]

The interesting part is that tcpdump (part of bpf) shows me all the
packet headers arriving at the server quite nicely. When I then try
to telnet to the server it even shows my outbound telnet request.

BUT NOTHING HAPPENS? I get no response from the server. When I try
to ping my system (the SLIP client) from the server I also get no response.

"netstat -r" on both ends seems to show correct routing tables (the server
knows the route to the client and vice-versa.) 
"ifconfig sl0" on the client and "ifconfig ni0" on the server (an
HP9000/382 running HP/UX 8.0) show identical netmasks, with the interface
"up" on both ends.

I can only assume that I have some table entry wrong somewhere such that
the SLIP client (MacIIci, A/UX 3.0, 8mb/160mb) doesn't recognize packets
for itself (could it really be that simple? :-) )

At this point any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
The SLIP setup was supposed to make my job easier but I have already
spent much more time trying to make it work then I could ever hope to save
by using it :-) but I'd really like to know what's wrong since other folks 
seem to be using it with no problems.

Thanks in advance.....

I have experienced what appears to be a problem with NFS on A/UX 3.0.  When I
do a 'newconfig nfs' and restart to invoke,  a few days later I start getting
occasional console messages to the effect that there is a 'portmapper' error.
Over the next few days the frequency of these console messages increases untill
it the machine locks up.  The Mac is being served two filesystems my a Sun
4/330 running SunOS 4.1.1 elsewhere on the network.  Untill the Mac locks up
NFS appears to be functioning properly.  Turning off NFS will stop this from 
happening.

Organization: Miami University

	Has anyone had any luck using Techworks Ethernet IIsi with A/UX 3.0?
	I got their A/UX 3.0 drivers and installed off the SE/30 diskette. I
then had to edit /etc/install.d/master.d/ae6 for newconfig to recognize the
card. (The SE/30 card has an id of 852, the IIsi of 1104). Verbose newconfig
says I have something else (id 40, slot 14) which it can't find a driver for.
Is this related?
	Anyway, when the newconfig is all over, I get the message that no
Ethernet cards are found. So when I do a newconfig bnet, I am never asked for
an IP address, hostname, etc.
	Also, I can't get Ethertalk in A/UX to work over this card. I had to
hack the installer script just to install the Ethertalk IIsi driver. (I just
got rid of the routine where the Installer checks for installed boards. It was
crashing the program. I did a Custom install.)
	Thanks for any help you can give.

What am I missing? I'm trying to upgrade to A/UX 2.0.1 (I've been out
of the country for awhile) and I cannot get the checksums to match.

I ftp a copy from aux.support.apple.com & it sits on my Sparc. Checksum is
okay. Since my Mac and Sparc are separated by 8 miles I dial into the Sparc
and download the 9M onto my Mac (5 hour phone call, fortunately in my "local"
calling area). Look at the file under A/UX and the checksums fail:

I've used White Knight with filtering & MacBinary turned off.
I've used Zterm with filtering & MacBinary turned off.
I've downloaded onto a Mac disk under MacOS.
I've downloaded onto a Unix disk in 24-bit mode of A/UX. (still using a Mac
application, since I haven't connected the modem up under A/UX yet.)

When I look at the binary which was downloaded onto a UNIX disk (/tmp) I see
an Apple Single file, so I fcnvt -d, yielding two files, but the data file
doesn't match the checksum.

When I copy from a Mac partition to a Unix partition, I've tried not touching
the finder attributes (sum fails). I've tried changing finder attributes to
"BIN ", "A/UX" (sum is different, but still fails). In most every case, the
resulting file is recognized as a compressed file, sometimes it decompresses
okay, but in that case, cpio fails to complete (fortunately I'm not doing this
in the root directory for these tests.)

I've just written the file, using bar, to a number of floppies which I'll
transfer via suntar to my mac later tonight.

Am I missing something here?

Yes, "dp" will allow you to do whatever funky stuff you

I have been told it is the same mechanism that Apple is using in their

case that doesnt guarantee that Apple hasn't done anything to the ROMS.

I am pretty much positive it can be used for the installation, I am

A quick reply would be appreciated. Post or mail me.

I have 4 questions thanks for ANY help with these.

first ( and probably the easyest )
Have an old Digital VT100, I know how to change the settings on it
but can not figure out how to save them.  It is really frustrating to
have to reset the baud, etc every time I turn it on.

second
Have A/UX 3.0 on MacII with local imagewriterII.  The printer works fine 
from sys7 programs.  I set up lpr and later lp to do UNIX printing, but
the printer wraps long lines ( >96 chars ) back onto the begining of
the line.  It appears to be getting a carage-return but no line feed.
I have tried to set lw=96 ( printer width ) in the printcap; didn't help.
Also there is no deffinition for the imagewriter in the termcap, but there
are other printers in the termcap.  The printer does this with both lp
and lpr.  I used the /usr/spool/lp/ADD_IW script to set up lp.

third
Have a Best Data products Smart One modem, model 9632XL V.32, that I am 
haveing problems with at 1200 and 2400 baud.  The modem works fine at
9600.  I am using the cable that came with the modem.  I have tried 
setting it to V.22 ( i think thats right ) mode but didn't help any.
It will connect get strange chars and then disconnect.  I am mostly using
Zterm 0.9 with the same settings as my internal 2400 modem ( that works ).
I need to call work often and only have a 1200 number, my internal is 
not recognised under A/UX (4 year old modem), I would like to get this 
9600 modem working so I could keep my machine up with A/UX and not have 
to reboot to call work number.  I have also tried haveing the modem force
most signals to high, with same effect.

Fourth and final
Have a Zenith model ZM-2401 2400baud modem.  Got it used with no manual.
It did not come with a power cord.  It has a connector like this on back

If someone has one of these beasties could you send me some info on the power 
supply and mostly the plug that goes in this jack.  I am sure that if I 
just knew what the pin-out for these three pins I could make a power 
supply.  

again any help with this will get many thanks.

Yes I have the same experience with Blackout.  It completly locks up the machine,-
aaarrrrrrgggg :-(.

I had to turn off the power switch and reboot,- and there went that disk ...

I have a Mac IIfx with 20 Mb RAM & a 160 Mb extern disk.

I would certainly NOT call BlackOut compatible with A/UX 3.0.

Since I reset the clock on an AUX/3.0 machine here to the correct
timezone, (and not kept accurate with ntp), there has been a funny
problem with background printing from the Finder.

When a user tries to print something and background printing is off,
all works well.  If it is on, nothing appears to happen, but the file
get's printed one hour later.  If you go to the printmonitor, the job
has been queued to be printed in one hour.  If you then go to adjust
the time, the default it gives is the current time (so it knows the
right time), and if you say ok, it prints at once.

I suspect that somethign is doing the Daylight saving correction
twice, but I'm not a Mac person (I look after the Suns and HPs here
mainly), any hints?  Is there a FAQ for this group?

In case it matters we are running 3.0 on a Quadra 700, and our
Timezone is BST (British Summer Time), which is one hour daylight
saving from GMT.

Yes, I've had the same problem.  Daystar claims the PowerCache is 100%
compatible with A/UX--they told me so on the phone--but the fact remains
that the control panel crashes me into MacsBug.  This is a step backward
for them; they used to provide a separate program (something like "powercard")
so that "powercard on" would turn on the cache and "powercard off" would turn
it off.

Well, I was unhappy to discover that SAM doesn't work reliably under
A/UX 3.0 (I can't speak for any other versions).  There are a couple
of problems:

1. The Virus Clinic doesn't work at all.  Attempts to invoke it fail
   with a message about the Virus Definitions file being hosed.  Not
   that big a deal, since I didn't usually use the Virus Clinic much.

2. SAM Intercept works except for one problem - when you terminate the
   Mac session (by logging out), you get a bizarre alert box about how
   SAM Intercept has been modified, but it couldn't find itself in the
   System Folder.  Bizarre, but usually harmless, as clicking on the
   Proceed button usually works, but sometimes not.

The main frustrating thing was that phone calls to Symantec and A/UX
support were both fruitless.  The Symantec person claimed that it was
probably something wrong with A/UX, despite the fact that SAM worked
perfectly under MacOS.  A call to A/UX support didn't get me anywhere,
as my call was never returned.  Finally I gave up and installed the
Disinfectant init.

As far as I know, you should _not_ install the CDEV under A/UX.

To enable the cache, before you boot A/UX make sure:

	1. The CDEV is installed on your boot-up/start-up disk

	2. That the cache is enabled via the CDEV

If A/UX is booted with the cache enabled, it will stay enabled. To turn
off the cache you'll need to shutdown A/UX (Restart) and, in the real MacOS
mode, disable the cache and then boot A/UX.

In other words, the CDEV is A/UX compatible but the cache is ;)

I had reported the slowdown from After Dark. I discounted the
possibility of an init conflict because the only ones I run are ATM,
SuperClock and AccessPC (plus the apple standards).

I did a more thorough init-conflict check, and discovered that AD
conflicts with an old version of SuperClock, if SuperClock is set to
chime the number of hours (which doesn't work under A/UX anyway) on
the hour. How 'bout that for esoterica?
