We have a VAX 750 with an EMC L002 Memory Stretch Kit. It was running VMS, but now we want to put Unix up on it. Has anyone done this? If so were there any modifications to the system required? -- Craig McGowan University of Rochester

Memory error reporting is done via fixed locations on the 750 (see vax/cpudata.c, in paritcular `nexty750[]', and vax/autoconf.c), so there is nothing here to change. -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 7690) Domain: chris@mimsy.umd.edu Path: uunet!mimsy!chris
