Ah come on, you forgot the smiley face. (;-)  I can identify
researchers working in error recovery, name space management, and (in
the past) network partitioning.  The real difference between research
and products is that a researcher gets to concentrate on one problem
and doesn't have to integrate all of the other facilities.  Research
is no less "real" than development it's just allowed to concentrate on
one problem at a time.

  Dear netters.
  We are planning to start to develop a distributed real-time kernel. I need
  references about :
  - Real time scheduling algorithms.
  - Synchronization and communication between distributed real-time systems.
  - existing real-time kernels which support distribution (i know about Chorus,
  but is there any other available kernels ?).
  - Any reference about real time systems and pointers about actual research
in this field.

  Documents available through FTP are greatly appreciated.
  Thanks.

Great. Just what the civilized world needs -- another U.S. corp dumping
product on the world markets at less than cost.  :(

But seriously, does NT satisfy the world's demand for "open" systems?
It might meet 2 out of 3 definitions of "open":
	
	- non-proprietary user interface (yes, works like Motif)
	- non-proprietary data interface (yes, DCE)
	- non-unique source of product (no -- unless we can buy it from
	SunSoft or Digital...)

Hi !

uWare delivers a new version of their r68 assmbler with the Ultra C
distribution. I've already found 2 bugs, one is veru dangerous because r68
silently generates invalid code : movem (rx),#xxxx instructions are translated
to wrong opcodes (see below). 
So DON'T USE THIS ASSEMBLER WITH THE OLD CC OR WITH GCC V<=1.40 
(gcc V1.42 fixes this problem, soon available from ftp sites)

  I saw a post on another Coco echo recently about a new scsi driver
that will allow drives to be formatted with 512 byte sectors. Does
anyone have any more information about it? Will it only work with
certain hardware? I have a locally manufactured scsi interface that has
home brew drivers and descriptors. Increasing the size of the sector
would overcome the last barrier to faster drive access.

That looks okay ... it works for me when I use -eb=64. I however, do
not use a standard bootlist file. You should make sure that it contains
the descriptors drivers necessary for your system although I suspect
that this is the case.

>it.  My /h0 seems ok...  So, it is something I am doing wrong with

Your os9gen command looks fine.

The only thing I can think of is that you are still using the old
(V2.3) ROMs instead of the new (V2.4) ROMs. Is this so? If that is the
case then you just have to change your ROMs. The V2.3 ROMs cannot read
an extended boot file; for that you need the new V2.4 ROMs.

In article XpZSPG@keihh.hanse.de, kt@keihh.hanse.de (Kei Thomsen) writes:
>os9gen /h0/fmt -z=bootlist

This is wrong! /h0/fmt is not a device descriptor, it is the path name
to a file fmt located in the top level of a device whose descriptor is
/h0. Pierre is CORRECT to use /h0fmt.

I don't know about the Coco but version 2.4 of OS-9/68K has the VCCS
driver in addition to the good old SCCS driver. If you use the VCCS
descriptor for a drive then then drive will be asked for it's block
size when it is formatted and/or initialised.

On one of my projects, we are attempting to create a turnkey, ROM-based

significantly slower out of ROM than out of DRAM.

Is is possible to copy a module from ROM to DRAM, then force the module
directory to use the RAM-based version of the executable image?  Does
anyone know of a utility for doing so under OSK 2.4?

Followup-To: comp.os.os9
Keywords: backup, fsave
Organization: Digital Projects Group, JPL
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 1992 17:05:13 GMT

I am trying to come up with a method of backing up an OS-9/68K
system on a remote tape drive on a Un*x system over the Ethernet.
The OS9 machine is running ESP/ISP.

Currently I backup by sending fsave output to files, then using
ftp to get the files to the machine with the tape drive.
I would like to automate this and avoid making big fsave files.

Right now if I could fsave to a named pipe I could then get the
data over the net using an OS9 port of rsh that I have.  However,
fsave doesn't seem to want to do that:

fsave -m=foo -f=/pipe/temp
fsave: can't create /pipe/temp@.
Error #000:235  (E$BNam)   Bad Name.
 This error is returned by the F$PrsNam system call if the name is
 not syntactically correct.

fsave -m=foo -d=/pipe/temp
fsave: can't open target device /pipe/temp@.
Error #000:235  (E$BNam)   Bad Name.
 This error is returned by the F$PrsNam system call if the name is
 not syntactically correct.

Where is that final @ coming from? Can this be made to work?
If not, is there some other method of getting backups sent over
the net?

I think your bootstrap-EPROM can't load the new extended bootfiles.
So you must not give -eb=128. The extended boot - format is different
to the old one.

Sorry for this beginner request but we are starting a new projet and we have

We would like to answer the following questions:

	- Which types of processor are supported?
	- Is a VME driver included?
	- Which mass storage facility?
	- Any remote debugging?
	- Posix conformance?

We would be grateful if either we receive the answers or we are given
references about these OS comparisons/benchmarks.

I have a bunch of file transfer programs sitting around.
I switched from xmodem to zmodem years ago, though the sz/rz

the computer at the other end doesn't know zmodem.
More recently I've switched to the Beta version of CKermit.

I suppose I could post the source to rz/sz, but it's

medium widely available by now.

The Beta C-kermit, all nicely ported to OS-9, is FTPable,
but I don't have the address at hand.

Please, please, if you know about BOOTFILES, help !!!

I'm going to finish my master degree in december but I lost
the capability to access my system.... so it is urgent for me !

Ok, I have a MVME 147S-1 with 4Mb RAM, 150 Mb SCSI Micropolis hard disk,
Archive Viper SCSI tape drive.

I had OS-9/68000 ver. 2.3 and I upgrated to 2.4.  So, to configure it
for my system, I needed to create a new bootfile....

I used a standard bootlist with:     os9gen -eb=128 /h0fmt -z=bootlist
in which I have the good modules for my particular system. It didn't
generate any error so I boot the system to verify everything and....
NOTHING !!!!!!!

So I booted with a boot tape, I went on my Hard Disk using
load -d h0.sccs and load -d rbsccs
who are, I think, the descriptor of my HD and the driver to use
it.  My /h0 seems ok...  So, it is something I am doing wrong with
os9gen ???

Yes, I was doing    load -d h0fmt.sccs   before using os9gen.

Can anybody help me, I don't know what to do and I have NO
support except you on USENET and the COCO list...

Thank you very much !

I now regret that I have been skipping articles on OSK--

Could someone tell me where to get it and--
some basic information on how useful it is on Macintosh,
can it coexist with the normal Mac operating system, etc.

If there is a FAQ file I would appreciate having it emailed to me
or posted or just tell me where to ftp it.
