[net.general] ids softalk again

andy (11/01/82)

Hi,

	We here at Periphonics Corp. just got a copy of "Unix softalk" 
a newsletter put out by international data services, inc. of Sunnyvale
, CA. It mentions a problem with SYSTEM III not being able to support
two Unibus block devices. The paragraph follows...

	First, System III as distributed for
	the PDP/11 has major bugs with
	regard to having more than two
	unibus block type I/O devices on
	the system at once (i.e. it won't
	work).

Does someone know exactly what the problem is? If so could you please
elaborate? 

How does one fix this problem?

System III, as it comes from AT&T, has a problem with UNIBUS map
allocation.  At Uniq, we have fixed this for our supported System
III distribution for PDP-11 systems.
