I would like to install an Ethernet card in our MicroVAX II. However, according to our DEC saleman, ethernet is not supported in Ultrix 1.2. Is there a public domain version of the ethernet drivers, kernel changes, etc. which I could use with Ultrix 1.2 and a DEQNA-M ethernet card?

Get a DEQNA, cable kit and add the following line to your configuration file, rebuild and boot the kernel. device qe0 at uba0 csr 0174440 vector qeintr I don't think the DELQA is supported, but that's because V1.2 was released before the DELQA was announced. -- Alan Rollow alan%nabeth.dec.com@decwrl.dec.com

As of Ultrix 1.2: Ethernet *was* supported. TCP/IP *was* supported. NFS wasn't there. LAT was there, but may not have been "supported". DECnet *was* supported, with DECnet/Ultrix. I'm not 100% sure about DEQNA support, since the original 1.2 SPD doesn't mention any MicroVAX support, but it was most likely supported. See if you have a /sys/BINARY.vax/if_qe.o. If so, you've got it. Please give serious consideration to a 1.2 -> 3.x upgrade. *NONE* of 1.2 is "supported" and you'll have difficulty resolving any problems you run across. -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing arpa: cbmvax!grr@uunet.uu.net Commodore, Engineering Department fone: 215-431-9255 (only by moonlite)

The DELQA was supported by V1.2 even though it wasn't in the SPD. -- Matt Thomas Internet: thomas@decwrl.dec.com DECnet-Ultrix Development UUCP: ...!decwrl!thomas Digital Equipment Corporation Disclaimer: This message reflects my own Littleton, MA warped views, etc.

LAT was only supported for the DECServer 100 - the 200's were not supported... downline loads could be offloaded from VMS as our VMS engine was a VAX730 back then! (ethernet device: DEQNA) I would also like say that Ultrix V1.2 was/is a very stable product. It is still running on the machine of my previous employer with no problems. The only outages occur when there are hardware problems (RA81's or 780HW). cheers, -jj -- Jeff Janock, CMW Project - Digital Equipment Corporation; 508-264-5191 jeff@imokay.enet.dec.com
