Subject: Looking for Information about the UDA50 Disk-Controller
Organization: ISA GmbH, Stuttgart, FRG
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 1992 11:53:45 GMT


Hello Netlanders,


I'am looking for a functional description of the register set used
by the UDA50 RA-8X disk controller for the Unibus. It would be nice to
have the programming guidelines, too. I've got an old PDP11-24 at 
home and I would like to make an UDA50 compatible SCSI interface (yes,
I know, it won't be easy...). Could anybody tell me, where I can 
obtain these information ?

Thnx a lot.

greets,

    	    Thilo

Subject: gapless tape
Date: 30 Sep 92 19:37:58 GMT
Organization: Chevron

Does anyone know how to configure a UNIX workstation to read gapless magnetic tape?  By gapless I mean
physical records that are several million bytes long.
 
Reading such records requires that the tape controller have a byte count register about 24 bits wide (to
hold numbers as big as several million), and direct access to large real memory.  The device driver also
must be able to deal with large records.

Any help will be appreciated.  Thanks.

We've one working at our site. One of the few problems i remember we
had when testing the line was that tot get the UUCP protocol to work
we had to hook up a terminal to the terminal-server and make the
session PASSALL (connect a terminal to the line, press BREAK, type
SET SESSION PASSALL, type RESUME) 
This we still have to do every now and then when the session has dropped.

        I posted this question for my friend and I am not sure if
        this is the right forum for this. If not, post ME and I will
        move it somewhere.

        Here it is...   
  **********************
   
   Hi!
   
   We are building a system here in Finland that is supposed to
   work on a VAX-PATHWORKS FOR DOS-PC network. We have written most
   of the software and are now up to our ears in debugging the
   package. The problem is that we have no experience about debuggin
   tools for "client-server" software. The program on VAX is started
   by the PCs as a DECNET netobject and we haven't yet figured out how
   to efficiently debug that netobject.
   
   The program consist of a "application-server" that runs half on PCs
   half on the VAX, each application (data entry screen etc) using
   the services the application-server offers. All screen handling and
   network trafic is (almost) totally hidden from the programmer building
   the application. 
   
   The problem is that we can't really use eg. CodeView on the PC's 
   because the application server is hiding so much of the actual 
   application. Debugging the Vax-part of the application is harder still,
   how do you run that netobject which expects that anyone who starts
   the object is a PC ?
   
   So we must rely on inserting debugging code into the applications
   and simply rebuiding the program whenever we need more debugging
   info. There must be a better solution.
   
   Any suggestions and ideas about tools are most welcome,

The RC25 was code named Aztec.  If I remember correctly it had 26 MB of fixed and 
26 MB of removable cartridge winchester storage.  There was alot of problems 
keeping the removable cartridge from getting contaminated.  It is possible that 
DECDirect still carries the cartridges. 

I think the RC25 had it's own controller for the Q-Bus.

Has anyone out there successfully used VAX Encryption to encrypt

encryption) be able to decrypt the data?

I am not sure but it appears that VAX Encryption is actually using an 
encrypted form of the key to encrypt the data file.  The manual
is quite sparse on details.

Any help would be appreciated.

 We are considering purchasing a VS-4000-90. However, I've got very little
in the way of performance benchmarks for it. I'd really be interested in
knowing if anyone out there has run the LINPACK benchmark, and what numbers
they got out. Specmarks are nice, but they never seem to correlate well with
the performance I see when I use the box, but the LINPACK measurements do.
Maybe that's cause I use a lot of the Linpack codes. (sorry for rambling
a bit here) Alternatively, if some kind soul would be willing to run the
Linpack benchmark on there system for me, I'd be more than happy to mail
them the code.

1: Edit /usr/sys/data/tc_option_data.c adding a line describing your device:

  ie. { "OPT_NAME  ",    "xx",     0,      1,    'D',    0},

        Where:  "OPT_NAME " is the 8 character identifier in the option PROM.
                "xx" is the name of your device driver. This allows the
                 TurboChannel auto configuration code to map your option
                 to your device. You can get the option identifier by entering
		
				>>cnfg

		 at the console prompt.

   So his entry would be:

	{ "TC400TTY",    "tcsp",     0,      1,    'D',    0},

   Don't forget to make a new kernel after editing tc_option_data.c.

Hi All,

Let me appologise in advance if this post does not belong in this newsgroup.
If this is the case, could you please suggest where I might post this.

My company has orderd some NCD Xserver terminals with vt220 keybards.
These machines will be used off site.  Users will phone in, logon to a
UNIX machine, and run Xwindows.  From here, most users will want to open
a window to our VMS machine and this is where the problem is.

We apparently do not have a UNIX to VMS keyboard map.  When in VMS ( from
UNIX ), regular letters and numbers type correctly, but PF keys, control 
keys, Do, Find, Select, Replace, etc., do not.

My question is: Does there exist, or does anyone know how to create, a
UNIX to VMS keyboard map to solve the problem described above?

Please send all reponses via email as I have cross posted this to several
newsgroups and won't have time to peruse them all.

thank you,

Actual application is using EIA-RS-422 communication

We need to know if it can really be replaced by DEC DLV11-J

I don't know alot about this technology, but...
Digital has a device and driver to read/write gapless on 
BI based VAXes running VMS.  The controller is the TM32, the driver
is PLDRIVER.  

On the workstation side, you might contact the following outfit,
who I understand makes a QBUS gapless interfaces.  I don't know if they
supply a UNIX driver, nor do I have their elephone number:

Good luck.

Any?  No, not any.  But any of the more recent releases should
run on it.  Reviewing my collection of SPDs it appears that UWS
V1.2 (based on ULTRIX V2.3) was probably the first version of
ULTRIX to support the VAXstation 3200.  Before this the system
will probably panic early in the boot because it doesn't recognize
the CPU type.

The current version of ULTRIX is V4.3.

Take out the graphics adapter, and put it in a safe place.  Without
that the system will probably think it is a DECsystem instead of
DECstation and use one of the tty ports as the console.  I have
a DECstation converted to DECsystem setup this way.  If the
arrangement of the back of the Model 240 is anything like that
of the Model 200, prefer the tty connector closest to the middle
(not #2).
