[comp.sys.sequent] my problem with ALM memory

rminnich@udel.EDU (Ron Minnich) (02/28/88)

in one of the manuals it is made clear that you MUST do 
byte operations on ALM, even though it is 32-bits wide. So, 
i changed all my int * locks declarations to char *locks, and, 
it worked!! Any other type of access to ALM is supposed to get 
you a SIGBUS, although the delivery of that signal is in my experience
not a sure thing to say the least.
  Anyway ALM works just fine for me now.
