[net.unix-wizards] UDA-50 help needed

paul@msdc.UUCP (08/25/83)

Our local DEC office claims there is no information for purchase about
programming UDA-50 controllers. I'm going to try and use a dual-ported
RA-80 from two systems, simultaneously. Does anyone possess information
on how to accomplish this (or has someone already accomplished this)?
Our config: VAX 750's running 4.1BSD.

We went through a similar battle to get literature.  It turns out that while
the UDA documentation is listed in the current documentation catalog, if you
try and order it they will tell you it is unavailable.  Turns out DEC has
decided that making the documentation publically available would aid
competitors trying to produce look-alikes, so they have removed it from
circulation.

We were able to get a copy by showing a demonstrated need, and after signing
elaborate non-disclosure agreements.  This was done through the aid of our
local office.  You should try to see if your local office can provide similar
assistance.
