We need the source for a DR11-W driver for a microVax II running Ultrix-32M. The DR is used to talk to a Raster Tech model One/25. We were using a CADMUS running Sys 5. (I find it both interesting and appropriate that their netname is ulose (you lose). But that's another story...). I have written drivers for V7, BSD 3.X, and VMS, so I will be able to figure out almost anything reasonable. My problem with Ultrix is lack of suitable system documentation (are you listening DEC Ultrix Support?). I would greatly appreciate any help that is offered. Thanks, Steve Holzworth mcnc!ikonas!dedalus!sch

Posted letter to Steve Holzworth but it came back so a brief summary: We (Plasma Studies) need a dr11 driver for uvaxII/ultrix also. DEC has agreed to help in the person of Marty Nicholson at DEC(301 459 7900). I hate to buck the tide but our experience with DEC has been very positive so far (4 years, 3 low budget systems) and feel present Ultrix problems just usual DEC getting it working numbers. If anyone has or hacks a driver we would like to have it and will keep all who contact us informed & post summaries as warranted as to our progress with DEC.
