One of my old colleagues in Seould National Univ., Korea, has problem in installing and using 64 line parallel interface DRV11-J on uVAX II under VMS 4.5. He bought it from a local Digital distributor to interface PUMA robot arm, but the local distributor seems to be totally ignorant about how to use it in VMS environment. Could anybody out there with similar experience tell me anything about this device ? Thanks in advance. - Sang Please respond to my arpanet address Chask@sushi.stanford.edu. -------

About two years ago we purchased a DRV11J for connecting to a eye-tracker. It has now been in production use for over a year. To make use of it required using the CONINTERR driver. If you want a copy of relavent code and/or general comments just send me mail. Randall W.

guess what: he has to write a driver himself from scratch. Not helping this is the
fact that Unimation (at least used) wont give out the interface details. I will see
if I can find the driver I wrote 5 years ago.
One immediate caution, he will have to jumper the two reset lines from the original
LSI-11 interface over over to the interface card for the joint micro's. failing to do
this will cause the controlers to come up in a bad way the first time you switch the
power on (the main power, not the motor power switch) that causes the motors to come
on FULL, ignoring limit stops, without the motor enable switch being hit, and
ignoring the stop switch.
