Hi, Has anybody written a UDA50/RA81 disk driver for Unix System V if so what is its availability? Thanks, Andrew T. Rodnite (516) 333-6700 ext. 388 floyd!ganash!cai!andy

Rodnite >> (516) 333-6700 ext. 388 >> floyd!ganash!cai!andy Yup, DEC's Holmdel office ( (201) 946-9403 ) has written one that works for both for System V and System VR2. As released, however, it only supports the UDA50 controller on its own UNIBUS. It is possible to boot a system configured for the UDA50 on the same Unibus as the other periphs., but due to the Unibus mapping problem (uh... I mean feature), the kernal cannot be very large and DEC will not support this configuration. Call 'em for more info. I believe the object code costs about $ 2.5K. Cheers! H.G.

> Has anybody written a UDA50/RA81 disk driver for Unix > System V if so what is its availability? I have one that is almost debugged. It is currently for SV.R1.V1. When I get out the "just one more bug", it will be available gratis (with keep-this-copyright-notice constraints). The system will then go to SV.R2.V1, and I will work on any differences needed for that and for multi-UNIBUS(R) configurations.
