From: Mike.Caplinger <lbl-unix!rice!mike> Date: 18 Nov 1982 17:45-CST We have recently acquired 4 750s with really new peripherals, particularly RA80/81s and dual Unibuses. Has anybody had any experience with these? We are running vaguely flaky Berkeley drivers now and can't boot off the RAs, though we have written a boot program that uses the DEC boot ROMs to drive the devices. Alas, we can't get DEC to deliver the ROMs. We are also working on adding dual Unibus support. Comments from anybody else in this position would be appreciated. Also, we have a 730. Has anyone succeeded in getting 4.1 up using the rl02 as Berkeley suggests? We have a 4.1 release too old to have the IDC driver on it, and I'd like to hear that somebody else has done it before I blow the money for a new distribution. Thanks, Mike
