Here's a strange one:

Every once in a while, while I'm using an active slip connection,
I'll notice that the send and receive led's on my modem are flashing
on and off in sync.  They'll light for about 1 second, then go out
for about 1-2 seconds.  The strange thing is that the connection
stays up.  I can still do things, albeit more slowly.  It doesn't
seem to be related to any clients, since I can get rid of all
connections off of my home node and this still happens.  It doesn't
go away unless I terminate the slip connection.  Any ideas?

I've had this problem since I first installed A/UX (several months ago) and
have seen postings from several other people reporting the same problem. 
I've contacted Apple, and am waiting for a response (in fact, I need to
call them again).  Apple has indicated that they have at least reproduced
the problem and that the documentation is not clear on how to configure
SLIP when an EtherNet card is not installed.

I will post any information I get from Apple regarding a resolution.

I was able to get MacTCP to work (without an ENET card) by changing
/etc/startup.d/bnet and specifying my host name (found in the /etc/hosts
file) instead of loopback.  This, however, caused strange sendmail problems
(sendmail would try to use the loopback address).

For the time being, I've borrowed an EtherNet card...

Help!

I'm new to A/UX, and I'm trying to format/mount my DRG 128REM
(a magneto-optical drive based on the MOST mechanism) on a macIIcx.
Have any of you suscessufully accomplished this feat?  
What's the trick?

The error message in the A/UX System Console looks like:
     Disk write c3d0s30 Error: Illegal request, code = 0x26
     generic disk c3d0s30 Fatal Error: Logical block 0, physical block 0

So far, I have tried 
	1) formatting with Apple's HD SC Setup under A/UX  
	   fails with error message something like
	   "Possible Hardware Problem: call dealer"

	   If the disk is formatted with APS 2.6.8, it can be
	   partitioned with Apple's HD SC Setup under the Mac OS.
	   
	2) formatting/partitioning with APS 2.6.8 under mac os (disk
	   never appears to load driver, and I don't know what
	   /etc/disktab entry to use with newfs)
	
	3) formatting/partitioning with Hard Disk ToolKit Lite 
	   (software that comes with the drive. (Same symptoms as with
	   APS formatting software.)
	
	4) A friend who owns the full up package of the Hard Disk 
	   ToolKit v1.1, used the World Control application to look at
	   some SCSI Page parameters.
	   [Note: I am now speculating in a technical area about
	          which I am fairly ignorant.]
 	   Looking at SCSI Page 0, the Unit Attention command is
	   enabled.  According to the HardDisk Toolkit User's Manual,
	   page 95, [and I'm paraphrasing now], "Enabling the unit
	   attention command is an evil thing." 

	   I tried changing the value through software, but the
	   parameter seems to revert to its original state on a reset.
	
The DRG tech support person said to call Apple.  Apple's tech support
person, Carl, thought it was a long shot, but that maybe SilverLining 
would work. Before I invest in SilverLining, I'd like your opinions.

thanks.

OK - here's an easy one...I've finally gotten GCC successfully downloaded
and detared - the advice of dumping it to MacPartition and changing the
creator/type to 'A/UX' and 'BIN ' worked!  Thanks to all the people who helped
with that.

Now, I'm trying to get various programs of mine compiled.  Just to try gcc
out, I started with the infamous 'hello world' program - typing
'gcc hello.c' faithfully produced the a.out executable that would print
hello world upon execution.  However, I tried compiling by first doing
'gcc -c hello.c' and then 'gcc -o hello hello.o'.  This compilation worked,
but now when the executable is run, nothing gets displayed!  The same seemed
to happen with A/UX's own cc compiler.

What am I missing?

Thanks very much,

I've been working on Gambit. You can take the unix version of Gambit
and get it running under A/UX with minimal effort. I just tweaked
makefiles a bit.

Now, your question is still a very good one, one that I don't know the
answer too, and would like to. I've perused the Toolbox interfaces in
/usr/include/mac that cc/gcc will use, and I've noticed a lot of the
MPW provided interfaces, such as AppleEvents.h, and lots of other
system 7 interfaces are missing.

Therefore, let me reask your question:  How does one call newer Mac OS
managers from A/UX processes, when the interfaces for those managers
don't exist for cc/gcc?

Specifically, I'm most interested in AppleEvent interfaces, so I can write
A/UX processes that talk to MacOS processes via AppleEvents. Does anybody
have these?

I have been trying to use MPW to do some work on an A/UX system for a
couple of weeks now. I don't have too much trouble having the "/"
in file and directory names because I quote filename shell variables out of 
habit (e.g. "{Quoted}" vs. {NotQuoted}). This should prevent the "/s must
occur in pairs".

The trouble I have is that I can't seem to use MPW as anything other than
a powerful text editor, which is too bad because I would prefer MPW to
the unix shell. For example, the MPW make program has some things lacking
in unix make such as directory dependency rules.


Also, from the A/UX Developer's Tools CD Readme file:

"One of the problems you will encounter if you use a Unix file system to
hold the source code for an application you are building with MPW is that
the behavior of the time and date stamp will be different than for a Macintosh
volume. This will cause the MPW Build command to incorrectly assume that
some components have been modified when in fact they have not."

Access to ftp is restricted to several users.  Look in the file /etc/ftpusers
for a "root" entry.  By removing this entry root will be able to use ftp on
your system.

'tc' still has trouble with some older 8200s and this is being worked.

'mt' has also been updated. It'll now confirm and 'erase' or 'format' on

Is there *any* way to add EtherTalk Phase I protocol support to

and going the LocalTalk<->Ethernet route is, well, distasteful,
to say the least.  (Anyone ported netatalk?)

If the answer is "no," are there any A/UX "alternatives" that are
less braindead in this respect?  The least desirable course of

I don't know if this is any help, but I've just compiled gs 2.2 with cc.
The only change I remember needing to make was in gp_unix.c, where a couple
of include files were different.  The changes are the last two lines:
/* Unix-specific routines for Ghostscript */
#include "memory.h"
#include "string.h"
#include "gx.h"
#include "gp.h"
#include "time.h"
#include "sys/time.h"

Also, I changed the makefile to specify the location of the X11 include
files (I don't know if this was absolutely necessary, but won't hurt):
oculus.li 26 % diff Makefile unix-cc.mak
61d60
<
781c780
<       $(CCC) -I/usr/include/X11/include gdevx.c
---
>       $(CCC) -I/usr/local/X/include gdevx.c

I haven't ported gs 2.5.2.  Could someone e-mail me a good location
to ftp the sources.  Also, I'd like to get support for a HP LaserJet II
printer.  Please include a name of site if different.

I know for a fact that the Daystar cache works fine! I believe that the
cache CDEV no longer works under A/UX but as long as the cache is enabled
under MacOS before A/UX is botted, the cache will stay enabled. (The same
applies for the QuadraCaches by Daystar...)

Well, with jagubox, I just hope I'm here when the power goes off and my
UPS gets low. I don't have any software that does a nice shutdown like
it should. I'm lucky that the UPS gets used mostly for short brownouts
and when the power goes out for a sec or two...

The Apple scanner works just fine... just _don't_ add any MacOS scanner inits

Look in ~ftp/pub on afsg.apple.com (192.1.34.2) for the file:

This is the source to the cmu code as ported to A/UX 3.0.

If you are running A/UX 3.0, then you can rename the '/' disk under the
Finder to be whatever you'd like.  I usually rename mine to the hostname of
the particular A/UX system.  Keep in mind that under CommandShell you still
refer to files by their traditional UNIX path name which is preceded by a
slash denoting the root of the UNIX file system.  But for MacOS type file
name lookups, etc.. you now have a name associated with the UNIX disk
volume.
