I am looking for a good method to test DMC/DMR11 synchronous controllers on a DEC VAX 11/780-5. The diagnostics supplied by DEC seldom indicate impaired performance unless a board is in major trouble. This can be very frustrating!! The VAX is running UNIX system V.2. ANY information -- pointers to existing programs, ideas, comments, etc. are sincerely appreciated. Phil Kells AT&T Bell Laboratories Naperville IL

Several years ago, I installed a DEC DMC11 and discovered it would pass the external loopback test without having the loopback installed! -- Bob Kridle mt Xinu, 2560 Ninth St., Berkeley, CA 94710 USA ucbvax!mtxinu!kridle +1 415 644 0146

The DEC diagnostics for DEUNA showed it had passed all it tests even though we did NOT have the loopback installed! sharan kalwani ...!ihnp4!mb2c!mcf!shan -- fff Sharan Kalwani ff ff Dept. of Physiology & Biophysics ff Michigan Cancer Foundation m mmm mmm ccccc fffffff 110 East Warren Avenue m m m c c ff Detroit, Michigan 48201 m m m c ff UUCP: !ihnp4!mb2c!mcf!shan m m m c c ff alternate: (313) 833-0710 x411 mmm mmm ccccc ff x262 --
