	I've just tried installing resolv.conf in the /etc directory to try and
take advantage of the numerous nameservers on our network. Unfortunatly this
installation over-rode the /etc/hosts file so that some hosts that were
previously defined were no loger defined with a name or the name on the central
nameservers was different, thus causing unexpected problems where those names
had been used in other parts of the Sequent's configuration.

	Question: Is there any way of forcing the resolver to look up
/etc/hosts first then trying the defined nameservers upon lookup failure. I
know this can be done on SUN machines but I don't know if that's merely a
difference in the workings of SUN and Sequent's resolver routines or some other
configuration file that has been defined on the SUN that's been missed on the
Sequent (The file /etc/resolv.conf was FTPed from one of our SUN's).

	We're Currently running Dynix/ptx 3.2.0 V1.3.0 on an S2000/200. Please
reply by email and all replies will be summarised for others interested in a
similar solution. Any help on this matter will be most appreciated.

Cheers.

Here at Keele we had the same trouble.  The solution was to use a Sun as
the yp master and use the sequent as an ordinary yp client.  The Sun can
then be configured to use DNS through the yp service and then everything
works as expected.

I'm looking for some general information on Sequent Hardware
and software. Specifically what problems and experience do people have
with them as general purpose application machines. We are pretty
familiar with Suns and Alliant and are also interested in the
administration differences between them and a Sequent. Thanks in

I have a Maxtor LXT200S on the SCED scsi bus of a s27 running PTX.
This is a 3.5" SCSI-2 device on a SCSI-1 bus.
The drive is available through the 'p' engineering partition only.
While the OS does not seem to use any Volume Table Of Contents (VTOC)
information I put on the drive, I can still use all 200 Mb as a single
filesystem.

Anyone know why I can't put a VTOC on this drive?

Date: Fri, 28 Aug 1992 00:16:00 GMT

  I've got the disks to P/OS version 2.0 now, & I was playing with them the
other day. There seem to be a couple of problems. For example, when I attempt
to boot off of any of them, I get the error :

	0 0 0 4 0 0
	0 0 0 0 0 7			(The "Software Only Error")

  I also acquired a couple of hard drives, & only found one hard drive that
would work. With the other hard drive, whenever I try to boot the computer,
I get the error :

        -----
	|0 1| 0 3 7 7		(Errors in boxes are inverted)
        --------------
        |1 7  7 7 7 6|
	--------------

  This one the book says is a hardware error of some sort. It seems to be
the drive though, because both controllers I have bombed with this error.

  Is there any documentation on how to decode these nice little error
numbers into something that translates to human-speak?

  Also, while the hard disk stuff was loaded, I attempted to go through the
"tutorial". I got most of the way through chapter 0.1 (?) when all of a
sudden the machine began giving me these "File MMM001 not found" error
messages, & I couldn't do anything (Exit/Resume didn't do anything, Do/Help
gave me these file errors). I had to turn the machine off. Could this point
to the floppies I got being damaged?

  I looked at them with the DEC file commands, & other than the fact there
weren't too many files there, I didn't get any errors. Is there any way to
verify a disk?

  And, how long should it take DECUS to process my application? I sent it a
couple of weeks ago, & haven't heard anything, so I'm wondering how long I
should wait before bothering them. ;)

  Well, that's it for now.

The DECmates and Rainbows (and apparently PROs) format to 16 sectors/track,
not 17 like most applications.  Thus, a large disk looks "smaller" than a
smaller disk looks smaller still.

According to my documentation for venix 2.0 one of the enhancements of v 2.0
is that venix now recognizes hard drives up to 32 Mb in size.  This seems to
tell me that the previous limit was lower and I suspect it was 10 Mb.

The only point I would like to make about determining whether drive RDxx
works okay is this:  my experience with Pro's and RD drives is that if
the drive meets or exceeds the required # hds/cyls etc. it may appear
to be working fine but you may well not be using more than say the drive
it thinks it is.  Example, if an RD51 is not jumpered correctly, a Pro
(with Venix) will happily think the drive is an RD50 (5Mb rather than
10Mb).  So please if you find something works, check how much space you
*really* have available, it may not be the actual drive's capacity at all.

I don't know.  I can only mention what my docs have.  The Pro pocket service
guide says to cut the "fourth from the back of the drive" jumper.  They've
used a seven jumper dip leaving the 8th (toward the front of the drive) empty.
I don't have the Seagate info to know what the jumpers do.  My old uVAX-1
docs say to cut the back two and the fourth (as for the Pro).  I've forgotten
what the setting for the RD50 is, possibly all jumpered.

I have heard some of this before, all too fuzzy though.

I have seen actual DEC RD51 drives that come with metallic cutable jumpers on 
the DS lines.  DS0, DS1, DS2 are intact and DS3 is cut.  This means that this
particular drive will select on 0 or 1 or 2 but not 3.  I have been told that
the reason for cutting the DS3 line is that in (presumably one of the PRO
models, because it ain't a DECmate or RB), the controller uses the incompatible
notion of *reading* back DS3 instead of potentially asserting it.  Thus, a
5 Meg has the DS3 set and a 10 Meg has it clear, so the machine "knows" what
size disk it is.  (This is back when there only were RD50 and RD51 supported.)

Is there anything to this?

I missed the initial posting, but I think I know what's going on here.   
When VENIX boots, the disk driver attempts to determine what kind of hard  
disk is installed.   Unfortunately, the only way it can distinguish  
between some of the disk drives is to attempt to read from the end of the  
disk -- say, a track that exists only on the RD52 but not on the RD51.  If  
the read fails, VENIX will retry a number of times before giving up.  I  
think what you're seeing is the failed retries, and, as suggested above,  
it's probably due to a head/cylinder difference between your disk and one  
of the supported ones.

Makes sense.  I am using a non-standard drive, a Seagate ST-225,
which has dimensions of 655x4.  I dont know what the comparable
DEC 20megger (RD52?) size is.   I once talked to the dec techincian
and was told that they used Seagate drives back in those days.
 
I'm not even sure if Venix 1.1 officially supported 20mb drives.

ST-225 is RD31 and *is* standard.  Make sure that it selects on DS0.  You'll
know you're right because it will light up when selected.

Isn't RD52 the Quantum 540?  This is a 30-odd meg disk.  The RD53 is a
Micropolis 1325 and is 64 Megs formatted DEC style.  (Often called a 70-
something Meg disk elsewhere. DEC's penchant for 16 sectors instead of
17 causes this sized disk's "penalty" to be noticeable.)

Don't know what Venix expects.

BTW, What most people have in their houses is "split phase", not "two phase".
The former is derived from a single transformer winding with 240v from
end to end and a center tap, which is the grounded neutral.  "Two phase" is
a setup that requires 3 or 4 wires and generator windings that are electricly
90 degrees out of phase.  It is only used in very old industrial plants
anymore.

Subject: OpenGL


Hello,

   Does anyone have a timeframe for when OpenGL for DECStation 5000s is
to be released?  I saw a demo being run by DEC at SIGGRAPH so I know its
for real.


Thanks

I recently compiled mtools-2.0.5 (programs to play with DOS disk for
workstations) on a DECstation 5000/33, but it doens't work.

For example, mformat seems to work, but a later mdir on the same disk returns:
disk_read: read: I/O error

mdir on a real DOS disk works, but doing any kind of writing fails.
for example mcopy ~/.plan a:  says 
Copying X.PLA
disk_flush: write: I/O error

Has anyone successfully compiled mtools on a Personal DECstation?

Are there any other programs to read/write MS-DOS disks on Personal DECstations?

Do you know a source to buy a new or used 3100 motherboard, mine
is failing the 'data cache' test.

Can this be fixed with a chip-level replacement?

Thanks
