*** feed the line eater - but not with my message ***
I am about to order a Fujitsu 2361 Eagle (the 580MB one with
2.4MB/s transfer rate). I am also ordering an Emulex SC7002 to
control it. This lot is to run on a VAX 750, which already has
an RA80 on a UDA-50.
Has anyone got experience of this combination under 4.2?
What needs doing to the driver? to disktab?
Any differences under 4.3?
Replies by mail, please...
Thanks,
Andrew Findlay

You will then find out that the hp.c driver causes UNIX to crash miserably on any drive that's not already specified in hpst[]. You will go away feeling miserable, and then when you add an appropriate entry to the end of the hpst[] array, it will start to work. You will then probably (as I did) leave it at that until you have to add yet another odd drive. I have done exactly this to a 4.2 driver, and then went and implemented the more general solution in an Ultrix driver. If you write, I will ask permission to send you the 4.2, into which I may by then have retro-fitted the "more general" solution. -- Joe Yao hadron!jsdy@seismo.{CSS.GOV,ARPA,UUCP}
