    Does anybody out there have a SCSI ScanJet scanner runnning off
    an HPUX machine (Series 300/400 and 700)? Having Just been informed
    that we will no longer be able to get the ScanJet with a parallel port,
    I was wondering if there was anything special necessary to get a SCSI 
    one going,
    Specifically:


      Can we just plug it in and address it like a disk, or does
      it need a special driver ?

      If it does need a special driver, where can I get my hands on
      one (assuming said special driver exists).

      Can it live on the same SCSI bus as the disk, or is that 
      asking for serious trouble.


    Any thoughts will be appreciated

I'm trying to connect an HP Optical Jukebox to an HP 750 running 8.05.
The problem is that I can't figure out what the minor device number is
supposed to be.  The autochanger(7) man page says the series 700 minors are:

        0xVEAFBSr

        V       VSC slot number
        E       Function exists
        A       Adapter slot
        F       Function number
        B       SCSI bus addr of autochanger
        Sr      Surface for specified media.

Well, I can't find any explanation for what a 'VSC slot number',
'Funtion exists', 'adaper slot', or 'function number' are.  The examples
show a command like:
        mknod /dev/rac/1a 55 0x2010601

If I run mknod with a 7 digit minor it appears to create only a 6 digit
minor number.

The 'Adding peripherals' document says that Optical Jukeboxs can be added
using SAM, but the only thing that SAM want to do is to create devices for
the disk drives in the Jukebox, rather than for the disks and picker.

I someone can give me the magic incantation, I'd sure appreciate it.  By the
way, the Optical is attached to the 750 via eisa slot 4.

I'm also having trouble with newfs, it complains about not having a size
for the device, but when I look at /etc/disktab it's there plain as day.
I give the command:
        newfs /dev/rac/1a optical_name  (can't remember exact name)


Well, Thanks

Well, looking at the back of my 720, the printed max current is 6A.
This number probably represents the maximum power required for a fully
configured system (graphics, eisa expander + card, dual disks) plus a
bit of margin.  The display is labled 2.8A.  I found a 98705 (probably
the graphics option you are describing) and it was labled 4A.  Total
current requirement: 12.8A max, X2 = 25.6 amps.

Since the introduction of the 720, there has been a one board graphics
option (standard) on both 720s and 730s.  At the time we announced the
710, we also announced several new single board graphics options.  The
add on graphics box is the solution for high end 3D type graphics, and
was also used on prototype systems delivered before introduction.
Unless you need the extra 3D performance possible with the 98705 box,
I'd recommend the standard graphics hardware.  The standard graphics
hardware is also quite a bit cheaper, and actually performs better in
many 2D benchmarks.

This would cut the maximum power requirements down to 8.8A per
station, or 17.6A for two.  This will certainly be fine for a standard
20A branch.

You need read and execute permission to use a shared library. The

You're begging to lose by doing that.  If you really want to do your backups
across NFS like that, just add root=foo:bar to /etc/exports on the remote

/bin/csh on HPUX doesn't seem to like having a large environment.

For example, I use bash, and I export my functions, to avoid having to
reparse them from the .bashrc file every time a new shell starts up.

If I invoke a c-shell script from bash, it dies with that error.

If I unexport all my functions and then run the script, no problem.

You didn't say which version of GNU make (which we call gmake here :-) ) you
said, but I assume it's 3.62.

Try, in the Makefile, -DHPUX -DUSG and also LOADLIBES= -lPW. This works a
treat on HP-UX :-) And, yes, gmake understands more Makefile bits than HP's
make, so it's a useful fallback if HP's make is obstinate (gmake's error
messages are better too).

We have an HP 3000 sitting in its own little corner of the world. When we

Is there anything free or cheap we can do to get it to a little easier to

Since HP's make doesn't support VPATH, I just got and built GNU make, which
does support VPATH. Alas, something else is wrong but I'm not sure what.

I'm using HP's C++Softbench package for the C++ compiler. In it there is
a CC script that does a tiny bit of preprocessing before launching /usr/bin/CC.
Within that script there are the lines:

CC_prog=`/bin/basename $0`
new_path="`echo $PATH | /bin/sed -e
's:[a-zA-Z0-9_./-]*softbench/bin/*\:\{0,1\}:
:g'`"
real_CC=`PATH=$new_path /usr/bin/which $CC_prog | grep -v "^no "`

When running this script under the control of GNU make, the CC_prog and
new_path variables get set correctly but real_CC becomes NULL and an error
message:

to_short ran out of space.

appears.

With HP's make, all is well. Of course, I have to do some bit of
modification of the Makefile to get HP's make to get that far since it doesn't
know about VPATH. That modification is simple enough for a test, but quite
unacceptable when using this for real.

That error message is a bit bizzare. I cannot find the string "to_short" in
any of the gnu make 3.62 source files or in the outpout of strings applied
to the gnu make executable.

This has me stumped. And stuck -- until I can get it fixed. Any ideas?

Briefly, getrusage() tells you how much in the way of resources
the current process is using, or about the resource use of terminated
child processes.

On my system (HP 9000/700 series, running HP-UX 8.07), I don't have a

I am trying to install the MIT distribution of X11R4 on my 9000/370 running

but I'm having a problem when I try to do "make install".  The first few lines
of error messages look like this :

I saw the note in hp.cf that told me to install util/scripts/bsdinstall.sh
before trying to install.  This script exists.  Is there something else I
have to do?

I feel like the solution must be pretty simple, but it has managed to elude 
me so far.  Anybody want to help?

I had HP install mine about a month ago. No problems.

One question, though. I *thought* that the 720/730 upgrade program was
supposed to put a 720 on my desk early and later turn it into a 730.
However, my upgrade was just the 730 motherboard swap, not the EISA
adaptor that comes in a factory 730. So, to my way of thinking, this
machine is not quite a "real" 730. This means that a year or two from
now when I want a FDDI board, I will have to pay (~$1500) for the EISA
adaptor PLUS the price of the FDDI board. Grump.

Is that common experience? Did *anyone* get the EISA adaptor for "free"
along with their 720-to-730 upgrade?

Of course you can always buy another CD-ROM drive. :-)
(How many will be needed in five years?)

Another temporary solution is what I did: copy the second CD to a hard
disk, if you can spare the disk space; the second CD only has 260MB.
Unfortunately the laserrom software apparently wants the stuff to be
in the root of the disk, so it's a bit messy if you can't dedicate
a disk for the purpose, but still doable.

Well, we switch our boards here all the time.  It is reasonably simple
and you should get complete instructions with it.  All you need to do is 
go into boot_admin mode and specify the new system type, move a jumper on 
two boards and reboot.  

If you have any problems or the instructions aren't clear, let me know.
