We have installed a Versatec V80 on our VAX 11/785 under ULTRIX version 1.2. The system has 4 UNIBUSes, 1 MASSBUS, with the following devices connected: uda0 on uba0, controlling 4 RA60's lp0 on uba0 - LXY (DEC) fps0 on uba0 - FPS5205 uda1 on uba1, controlling 1 RA60. ip0 on uba1 - GOULD IP8500 High res display ip1 on uba2 - GOULD IP8500 High res display dz0 on uba3 - (DEC) DZ-11 interface dz1 on uba3 - (DEC) DZ-11 interface de0 on uba3 - DEUNA Ethernet Controller vp0 on uba3 - VERSATEC plotter (V80) doesn't work mt0 on mba0, controlling 2 tape drives This configuration is a stripped down version of a system we built at 2 other sites (they have 3 udas and 12 RA60s). The other sites are running 4.2 BSD. This site runs ULTRIX 1.2. Under the VMS operating system, the VERSATEC is able to communicate properly. What we have done so far to track down this difficulty is to trace the probe routine in the driver and we have seen the octal number 1000 printed as the interrupt vector. The expected value of the vector is octal 200 (or 174). Is there anything in hardware or software that we should be doing but aren't? Please send mail unless a number of other requests are made. I don't want to tie up these newsgroups. Thank you for any help. John D. Powell PAR Technology wucs!adiron!jdp
