Hi.
  We've just replaced the CD-ROM drive with a RX23 floppy disk drive
on a DECstation 5000 running Ultrix 4.2a (you can do wonders with a
blow torch :-). However when booted the creature reports that it's a
peripheral of unknown type. And of course, it's impossible to read the
drive.
  I've found no references to various disk-trive types in the kernel
configuration files. What am i missing ?

The Model 33 is a Personal DECstation using the 33 MHz daughter
card.  The Model 133 is a DECstation Model 100 using the same
33 MHz daughter card.  The difference is that two different
systems use the came CPU daughter card.

Here's a summary of the Personal DECstation base system.

Two available TURBOchannel slots.
Baseboard frame buffer graphics 1024 x 768, 72 Hz, 8 plane.
Built-in audio hardware and speaker.
Thick wire Ethernet controller.
Synchronous SCSI controller.
One EIA-232 serial line with full modem Control.
Memory capacity: 40 MB using MS01-CA memory.
Internal drive capacity;
    Slot 1 - 3.5" FDI diskette drive RX26.
    Slot 2 - 3.5" SCSI hard disk (RZ23L, RZ24L or RZ25).

And the summary for the DECstation 5000 Model 100 series.

Three TURBOchannel slots.
Thick wire Ethernet controller.
Synchronous SCSI controller.
Two EIA-232 serial communication ports.
Memory capacity: 128 MB using MS01-CA memory.
Internal drive capacity:
    Slot 1 - Removable media; RX23, RRD42, TZK10 or TLZ06
    Slot 2 - 3.5" SCSI disk.
    Slot 3 - 3.5" SCSI disk.

The particular features of one system better match your requirements.
If you don't need the audio capability of the Personal DECstation,
but do need the extra memory, then the Model 100 series is probably
your choice.

Sure... use the pseudoterminal driver.  Create a psuedoterminal, enable it

If the DECstation 5000/120 uses the MS01-CA memory for the existing

More on the difference between MS01-CA and -AA later.

Like I said.  Somebody needs some technical training.  A call back to
the people in question to tell them they were wrong is probably the
thing to do.  Or talk to their manager.

Did WE sell you the wrong memory or did the 3rd party memory
vendor.  From earlier in the note it sounds like the 3rd party
vendor sold you the wrong memory or not as much memory as you
bought.

Now, the MS01-CA vs. -AA stuff.  When the Model 100s were announced
we also announced the MS01-CA.  This is memory suitable for the Model
100.  It comes in 8 MB units and is physically two 4 MB SIMMs.  I doubt
it can be mixed with the MS01-AA memory.  Make sure that what you got
is really the -AA stuff, it could be the -CA.  If that's the case you
got 8 MB like you wanted, but in a form that isn't terribly useful.

Detail alert.  I previously wrote that the MS01-CA was an 8 MB
upgrade of two 4 MB SIMMs.  My memory suffered an uncorrectable
error and had to be refreshed.  The MS01-CA is a 16 MB upgrade

2. Video Bandwidth
3. Horizontal & Vertical sync pulse width & polarity (I know they are

I'm trying to build an Xconfig file for BSD386 (with an ATI Graphics

I know of no software that'll read an ULTRIX filesystem on VMS (other than
as physical blocks, that is).  So mount the CDROM on an ULTRIX system and
export it with NFS, then use your Multinet software to import it.  Multinet
should have no problem with this.

No, this is not a joke.  I really have an 11/785 here, and I'd like to
upgrade it to Ultrix 4.2.  It's currently running some flavor of
4.3bsd.  I have all the proper Ultrix/AT&T licenses; the machine is
registered with DEC's ESL program here at Stanford.

The problem is that Stanford will only distribute Ultrix on TK50.
That doesn't do me a lot of good.  (When I told them I didn't have a
TK50 they offered to lend me a TK50 drive to connect to my SCSI port.
I don't think they know what a 785 is.)

Does anyone (perhaps someone at DEC) have the distribution for a 780
or 785 they could lend me?  There should be 4 RX01 diskettes labeled
"ULTRIX v4.2 RX01 BOOT" for booting, and some number of 1600bpi 1/2"
tapes with the actual distribution.

Thanks,

We don't run the DECwindows or DEC Motif stuff here, but recently I
helped out some folks in another department who had your exact same
problem.

Here's what I think happened, and what you can do to fix it. 
When you loaded Ultrix and Motif I think you did this: 

Loaded the default DECwindows subset 	  UDWXDEV420
Loaded the DEC Motif 1.1.3 subset    	  DXMXM113
( then, saw the MIT R4 stuff in the Unsupported and...)
Loaded the Unsupported X11 R4 Components  ULXUNMIT420

So, here's what happened with regards to your linking X libs of
	-lXm -lDXm -lXt -lX11 

-lXm links to the DEC Motif libXm.a
-lDXm links to the DEC Motif libDXm.a 
-lXt links to the UNSUPPORTED libXt.a which CLOBBERED the
     DEC Motif supplied libXt.a  <<< ERROR, DOES NOT WORK >>>  
-lX11 links to the DECwindows -lX11 because the MIT one is named
      -lX11-mit.

A listing from setld confirms the fact the the Unsupported MIT
setld clobbers the DEC motif libXt.a

DEC Motif X11 libs:	MIT Unsupported X11 libs:
/usr/lib/libX11.a	/usr/lib/libX11-mit.a
/usr/lib/libXm.a	
/usr/lib/libXmu.a	/usr/lib/libXmu.a
/usr/lib/libXt.a	/usr/lib/libXt.a

So actually you have two clobbered Motif libs: -lXt and -lXmu

To fix it we did this:

Move /usr/lib/libXt.a to /usr/lib/libXt-mit.a and
     /usr/lib/libXmu.a to /usr/lib/libXmu-mit.a
Re-install the Motif development subset again. Which is named
DXMXM113  OSF/Motif Development Env. (RISC)

I am pretty sure this will fix your problem. At this point
I suggested a move to public domain MIT X11R5 and a purchase
of OSF's Motif. This value added stuff X11 stuff should be
scrapped. It makes life more difficult than it has to be.
Let me know if this works for you.

If I needed one or both of:

- More memory (5000/33 tops out at 40 meg, 133's max is 128 meg).
- More disk internally (5000/33 only has one fixed device bay, 133 has 2).

Subject: Problem linking OSF/Motif code -- Missing "I18n" functions
Summary: Are DEC OSF/Motif V1.1.3 libraries correct?

Greetings,

I have a new DECstation 5000/125 which came with DEC OSF/Motif release 1.1.3.
My problem is pretty simple, none of the Motif code I have tried to compile
will link correctly.  I have tried several packages, and the response from ld
is always the same (cc command edited for readability):

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cc -o mxqwais global.o main.o mocode.o waisq.o qread.o question.o document.o\
	util.o source.o utils.o ../bin/inv.a ../bin/wais.a\
	-lXm -lDXm -lXt -lX11 -lm
ld:
Undefined:
I18nGetLocaleString
I18nGetLocaleCharset
I18nGetLocaleCharsets
I18nCreateDefaultFontList
I18nHasSubstring
I18nCSConstructInit
I18nCSConstructEnd
I18nCSConstructSegment
I18nCSConstructLine
I18nCvtCStoFCInit
I18nCvtCStoFCEnd
I18nCvtCStoFCSegment
I18nCvtCStoFCLine
I18nCvtCStoOSInit
I18nCvtCStoOSEnd
I18nCvtCStoOSSegment
I18nCvtCStoOSLine
I18nCvtFCtoCS
I18nCvtOStoCS
_XtAddPDDestroyCallback
_Xt_LoadQueryFont
_XtAddCallbackForOtherWidget
*** Error code 1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After grepping my way through the include directories, I found that the "I18n"
routines have to do with internationalization.  I have run 'nm' on all of the
libraries I have, and have indeed found undefined references to these routines
in /usr/lib/libDXm.a and /usr/lib/libXm.a.  No library has the routines defined
as local text.  Where the last three routines from the Xtoolkit are, I have no
idea.  I have tried several variations on the ordering of the libraries with no
luck.  I have tried putting additional libraries in the path with no luck.  I
think that I am simply missing a library or that one of the libraries that DEC
*thinks* I have isn't the right one (I did a full load from the CD-ROM marked,
"ULTRIX DECwindows for OSF/Motif V1.1.3", AG-PPJ3A-RE).

Am I missing something simple here?  Could it be that I just not linking the
things right?  That's my hope anyway.  If I *am* missing a library, where can I
get it?

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
