[comp.os.vms] Problem with VMS 4.6 if your uVAX has EMULEX CS02's

dww@stl.stc.co.uk (David Wright) (12/05/87)

Our System Manager has reported that there is a problem with using EMULEX CS02
QBUS comms cards which are not at the latest revision level, under VMS 4.6.   
These cards appeared to work fine under VMS 4.5 and earlier.

The EMULEX CS02 card, configured as two DHV-11 8-line muxs, gives phantom
devices when running SHOW DEVICE.   For example, TXC0 to TXC7 become TXC0 to
TXC15.  There are problems in using the lines - for example Control-Y acts
on the group of lines not just one!  There are other problems known to EMULEX. 

The solution is to upgrade the firmware PROM on the card to at least
revision P.  Emulex may make a charge for this.
