Reply-Path: Has anyone had success implementing UREP under ultrix V2? What does it take to convert the UREP BSC driver to make into the ultrix kernel? Or will the DEC BSC driver (supplied with Ultrix V2 for 2780 /3780 emulation) be coerced into doing the job? Andrew W. Potter Rochester Institute of Technology Rochester NY.

Reply-Path: You probably can't use the DEC BSC driver. One thing to look out for in all Ultrix 2.0 drivers is the changes made to the way br and cvec get passed to/from the probe routine. They are now global variables instead of r11 and r15 magically hacked in by some assembler glue. The fix is simple, remove the "register int br,cvec" declaration in your probe routines. /a PS: If you get the BSC driver working (I assume you mean for a DMF?) please let me know. It is on our list.

In order to get UREP running at our site, when we built the system we had to manually modify the makefile in /sys/SYS_NAME to eliminate all references to the dup placed there by config, and put in our own code to build UREP's dup driver. Then, in urep's dup.c, the line "register int br cvec" had to be commented out. This is because DEC has made these variables global. Good luck. -- ARPA: abrams@bnl.APRA BITNET: abrams@bnl.BITNET UUCP: ....philabs!sbcs!bnl!abrams
