I'm desperately seeking for a driver for Versatec's model 123 Unibus
interface. Versatec did not provide us with a driver for 4.3 BSD!!!
I have tried the driver supplied with 4.3 BSD but to no avail.
It seems to me that the 4.3 BSD driver is written for Versatec's
model 121 Unibus controller which is not compatible with model 123.
Question 1: Does anybody have a working driver for this controller board.
I have also trouble with the switch setting of the controller board.
For now I have chosen the following setting:
Device address: 0777354
Vector address: 134
The configuration of our SYSTIME 8750 ( VAX 11/750 ) :
dh0 at uba? csr 0160420 vector dhrint dhxint
dm0 at uba? csr 0171100 vector dmintr
dh1 at uba? csr 0160440 vector dhrint dhxint
dm1 at uba? csr 0171120 vector dmintr
vp0 at uba? csr 0177354 vector vpintr vpintr
lp0 at uba? csr 0177514 vector lpintr
il0 at uba? csr 0164000 vector ilrint ilcint
Question 2: Is this switch setting appropriate for this configuration?
I tried to get the diagnostics for this board running but have not
succeeded yet.
Following are the steps it took to get the diagnostic on TU58 cassette:
(1) I read DIAG.EXE and DEFBOO.CMD from magtape using the
ansitape program. Doing this I discovered a bug in ansitape.
After fixing the bugs I succeeded in reading the tape successfully.
(2) Then I wrote DIAG.EXE and DEFBOO.CMD on TU58 cassette using
the arff command.
(3) Not able to make the TU58 cassette bootable I figured out
the appropriate console commands to get the diagnostics
running. The diagnostic then displayed some banner information
and then died a sudden death!!!
Question 3: Can anyone tell me what I did wrong? Does anybody have a
bootable TU58 diagnostic cassette for a VAX 11/750?
