(1) Does anyone have a 4.1 driver that can handle 80Mb, 160Mb and 300Mb disks simultaneously? In particular, a up driver that can handle RM02s and RM04s as well as Fujis, or an hp driver that can handle SI "CMI" (Massbus) Fujis as well as RM03s and RM05s? We have Systems Industries controllers but I would be interested in drivers for Xylogics or Emulex controllers... I want to be able to use the same driver to handle both an RM03 and a Massbus Fuji (on different Massbuses). The problem is that there is no Massbus "drive type" I can use for a Fuji... What a botch. (2) Time to display my ignorance. Does anyone know of a way to use the 4.1a local networking across serial lines (e.g. DZs)? I had a (probably naive) idea that we could dump berknet/uucp in favor of a new file transfer protocol, for machines lacking Ethernet or Arpanet but having spare DZ lines... Also here at UCSD Chemistry we have an early implementation of pseudo-ttys which uses multiplexed serial line (DZ) connections between computers, and I was curious whether this could be folded into the 4.1a pseudo-tty arrangement. Help, suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Donn Seeley UCSD Chemistry Dept. RRCF ucbvax!sdcsvax!sdchema!donn (619) 452-4016 sdamos!donn@nprdc
