Which version of the interface??  There at least two versions
with some of the bits in different places.  We have a BV on a VAX and
NONE of the interfaces have ever done DMA correctly.  I believe
Berkeley has the old style interface, but reliable reports indicate
it was one of the prime reasons for  the unibus reset code going
into the device drivers.

The University of Michigan has a Benson/Varian working on 4.1.
Try calling Mike Stolarchuk @ (313) 763-6474.  Apparently he has done some
work making it reliable.  I think the driver uses multiplexed files (what ever
they are) which are buggy.
