RMS-11

by bqt＠softjar.se

Does anyone have sources to RMS-11 V2.0. Specifically for RSX, in case they differ. I have a tricky problem. I've written a device driver that pretends to look like a file system without using any ACP. It implements most functions an ACP normally implement. It also have some "odd" attributes set on the device to represent both what it actually is, and also to make FCS do "the right thing". So, yes, using FCS, I can access this device just like any other, including opening files and so on... However, RMS-11 is not so cooperative, and I guess it means that I'm either not implementing some ACP function in enough detail to make RMS-11 happy, or else some device attribute it not set right, causing RMS-11 to treat the whole thing in a way that is too restricted, compared to FCS, in which case I want to figure out exactly how to set attributes to make RMS-11 do the right thing as well. And just to explain what I'm doing in a little more detail: I've actually done this for two devices. The first is the DOS device presented by E11 and other emulators. It's a device that gives access to the host file system. The second device is actually TCP/IP. I can use normal tools and FCS functions to access the internet, just as easy as any other file. But not so, using RMS... :-( As an example: .pip ti:=tc:"130.238.19.25";21 220- =============================================================== 220- = Welcome to the Update Computer Club FTP archives! = 220- =============================================================== 220- 220- This server is maintained by the computer club Update at 220- Uppsala University in Uppsala, Sweden. 220- 220- You can find all the good stuff in the /pub directory. 220- 220- Please be advised that the club provides this service without 220- any guarantees, and we take no responsibility for any harm that 220- may come to you or your system from the use of this server, or 220- files obtained from this server. 220- 220- We do, however, try to ensure that everything here is correct. 220- If you have problems with the server, please contact the 220- FTP administrator ftpadm at Update.UU.SE. 220- 220 PIP -- I/O error on input file TC0:[IPLIB]130238019.025;21 -- Timeout on request . Now, it would be awesome if I could make this play using RMS as well, since then I could easily write servers using BASIC+2 or other languages. FORTRAN 77 as well as C do also have FCS interfaces, so I can already use those, assuming I'm happy with limiting myself to FCS. But I want it all (of course). So - anyone who might be able to help?

SIMH on CentOS 5.6

by Paul_Koning＠Dell.com

Lots of Unices use "partition" names to designate part of all of a physical device; for example on NetBSD the suffix "d" by convention means "the whole disk". On the other hand, on Linux no suffix is the whole disk, and letter suffixes mean (real) partitions. I didn't know that CDRoms could be partitioned. But you can check this easily: "cat /proc/partitions" shows you all the partitions that the OS can see (on all the visible disks). paul -----Original Message----- From: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE [mailto:owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE] On Behalf Of Mark Benson Sent: Tuesday, September 06, 2011 2:22 AM To: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Subject: Re: [HECnet] SIMH on CentOS 5.6 On 6 Sep 2011, at 06:52, hvlems at zonnet.nl wrote: The dd command ought to produce a bootable copy of the cdrom.

I would like to make a backup of the disk because I'm already on my second physical copy and would like to back it up before I lose it again You may already know, but... Please note that a VMS CD-ROM bootable image is not ISO 9660 formatted. So don't be misleaded if a correctly made image does not mount on Linux or whatever (or does not show up on Windows): don't take that as a test! The only way to check for a VMS CD-ROM image integrity is by having it booted or mounted in VMS. There is also a vmscd utility that can be used to inspect and extract data from such an image on Linux. Just look for it with Google. There is no difference between a VMS CD-ROM bootable image and a classical VMS hard disk image: they are both structured as an ODS-2 filesystem. Anyway, VMS can also mount and use ISO 9660 CD-ROM data discs and images. HTH, :-) G. P.S. Itanium-bootable images are different.

I dd'd the disk device (/dev/disk6) and it wouldn't work. I then dd'd the slice that reported as the actual volume (/dev/disk6s0) and it worked a charm. I don't know how that's represented in Linux, however. Also fdisk won't show a partition table for a CD-ROM, I don't believe, because they are not structured as hard drive partitions. I put my VMS VAX CD-ROM in my Ubuntu box and the Disk Utility reports it at /dev/sr0 which is a SCSI ID but my Microserver has a weird disk controller.

The dd command ought to produce a bootable copy of the cdrom. On Tru64 the correct partition is If=/dev/disks/ cdrom0c Your unix flavor may be different. Or use a cdwriter program that writes to disk, like Nero on Windows does.

I understand there's a SWXCR utility or something for this? I did some digging and found that I still had the install kits that I used to use on my Alpha system way back when. I put it into DUSTY::, but it seems that I'm offline at the moment. You can find the files at: http://www.bluevine.net/~marc/DEC-AXPVMS-SWXCR-V0300--1.PCSI http://www.bluevine.net/~marc/DEC-AXPVMS-SWXCR_E-V0102--3.PCSI http://www.bluevine.net/~marc/INVOKE_PCSI.COM Hopefully they'll download okay. --Marc

Anyone with a spare MMJ cable + RS232 adapter?

Guess you didn't get that e-mail. Short answer: I'm in Canada. About $4-7 if you want it in somewhere around a week. Much more for anything faster, like $50 - $100 or airfare + expenses for hand delivery. ;) They can go in the post tomorrow if you tell me where to send them. Phil

Yup, bought a 3 channel Mylex card, even showed up in SRM as drb, happily ran the RCU to build the drives. Then VMS doesn't see it. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH. I think they did more than rebrand it.
