Has anyone successfully used S's tty5620 function/terminal driver?
We have been successfully using S in a tek4014 layer, but have been
underwhelmed by the graphics performance (relative to that of a
dedicated graphics terminal (we have hp2623s)). We would like
to avoid the emulation overhead of tek4014 by running S in a generic
layers window. [old] S has tty5620 expressly for this purpose.
However:
> tty5620
sorry, pid 1521 was killed: exec: error reading data area
Error: Device not active
Error in newdv
Any ideas? Does it sound like a problem with downloading (to layers)
the S-specific driver, or a problem with loading the actual driver?
Our config:
DEC Microvax II, Ultrix 2.2
old S w/src
new S (not currently used)
S plus (perhaps in the near future)
1MB 5620 (3 of 'em)
If you don't happen to know the answer, do you perhaps know of a
support company who might 'sell' us the answer? As far as I know,
we can't call AT&T despite the $800 we paid for New S.
Any help is appreciated,
Ross
