[mod.computers.vax] dmv-11 vs. dmr-11

Provan@LLL-MFE.ARPA (01/31/86)

1. to a program, does a dmv-11 look exactly like a dmr-11 (well, actually
a dmc-11, if that matters)?  that is, are the two $qio interfaces
identical?

2. if yes, what could cause a device inactive error when issuing a
startup command?  how do i fix it?

thanks.  please reply directly to me, as i am no longer on this list.
