[comp.sys.apollo] What are /dev/padnn and /dev/crpadnn in SR10?

GBOPOLY1@NUSVM.BITNET (fclim) (07/22/89)

What are they?
What are they for?
What do they do?
How do they work?

Is the number of /dev/padnn equal to the number listed in
/sys/help/limits.hlp?
(ie `ls /dev/pad* | wc -w` == `awk -e '$1 == "pads" { print $NF; exit }' 
/sys/help/limits.hlp`)

Many thanks in advance.
