We have recently installed Interactive Unix 2.2 on our PCs that are all equipped with B004 compatible transputer boards. One of our system gurus has written a device driver for these boards such that we can access these boards from UNIX. However, we have lots of DOS-based transputer software and would like to run this software from the VP/IX environment. From the manuals, we conclude that there are two ways to access non-standard hardware devices from VP/IX: either by configuring them as DDA devices or by providing an IEM interface module.A first attempt to configure the boards as DDA failed. Now, my question: is there anybody out there who has already been successful (or failed) to run transputer software from VP/IX? Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
