Does anyone out there know what the normal interrupt addresses
and/or vectors an RX01 floppy pair is normally at when on a
PDP 11/70 ? We have BSD 2.9(.2, I believe) and the recent BSD 2.9
distribution from seismo!keith (Keith Bostic), which we're presently
installing. The hardware manuals I've been able to find hardly
mention them, let alone what the addresses are !!
Also, does anybody know for sure which driver to use ? The
sys/dev/Others directory has three in both distributions: rx.c,
rx2.c, and rx3.c. My guess, since they're RX01s, is rx.c, but
rx2.c looks like it can do some things that rx.c can't (like IOCTLs
to format the floppy, which we'll need).
Please reply by mail direct to me, as I doubt this is of much
interest to the net at large.

Due to the number of replies, I can't mention everyone who did respond; it'd double the size of the article !! Thanks very much !! The addresses are 177170 (777170) and 264 (both in octal of course); I want the rx.c driver from what several people sent. So much for formatting them online ... Also, the 'rxreg.h' file is missing from the standard BSD 2.9 distribution; someone has already offered to send one to me. The same person also says that the distributed rx.c doesn't work quite right; he's gotten one that originally came with BSD 2.8 to run, however, and is also sending me that. Again, thanks to all of you !! -- Will Edgington | Phone: (303) 871-2081 (work), 722-5738 (home) Computing Services Staff | USnail: BA 469, 2020 S.
