There are two scsi controllers on the pci bus and one of them is named PKD0. So I knew there had to be a PKB and PKC somewhere. I just located them on the motherboard... Never noticed them before!

Brian,
I've two Adaptec controllers:

They're not supported by VMS (IIRC). Not supported doesn't mean won't work.
Is there a way to let VMS use them?

I'm using aha-2940uw adapter on my DS10.
You need to add the following lines to SYS$SYSTEM:SYS$USER_CONFIG.DAT:
--- cut here ---
device = "Adaptec AHA-2940UW"
name = PK
driver = sys$pkadriver.exe
adapter = PCI
id = 0x81789004
boot_class = DK
boot_flags = HW_CTRL_LTR, UNIT_0
flags = SCSI, PORT, BOOT
end_device
--- cut here ---
Also I have patched OVMS 8.4 CD which supports this adapter.
Thanks Oleg!

One of the Qlogic 1020 or 1040 based KZP should be easy and cheap to find.
You don't want the KZPBA-CB though as it's HVD.

For the amount of electricity they use they sodding well ought to be too!!
I couldn't be happier with the DS10L's performance (mine is the one Rob's been using). It does make a little too much noise, but even the missus has become used to it being on the whole time in our study. It also running with a shadowset on the system disk, which does noticeably slow it down.
I'd like an itanium, but I haven't heard of one which is reasonable enough on the power front to warrant being on for extended periods of time. The DS10L is around 180W, which is not *too* bad.

Okay! Thanks!
Btw, I solved the problem with being unable to use it by going in to conversational boot, configuring decnet, starring decnet, and then editing SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM to autostart DECnet.

Absolutely. Servers don't need a GUI.

8.4 and revision 6.6. Problem was that console was set to serial =
instead of graphics=85I was using the graphics adapter. ;)
I never found use for a graphics head on that class of boxes.
I don't have anything that can handle MMJ and no local place would sell a null modem cable.
Problem! The system has booted and is sitting at the operator's console. It doesn't respond to my keyboard. I haven't yet gotten DECnet enabled or any remote access so I can't access the system.
Any ideas?
