Init'ing Mylex DAC stuff from within VMS?

by sampsa＠mac.com

Well, it all went tits up - upgraded the Firmware on the 800 and it doesn't even see the controller anymore. So if anyone comes across a spare KZPAC-type device, I'd be very interested.

Oh, and I don't think that you can use this to initialize the arrays while VMS is running, but it's been so long that I cannot recall. --Marc

Anyone with a spare MMJ cable + RS232 adapter?

On 11-09-05 02:32 PM, Sampsa Laine wrote: Yeah, MMJ to MMJ is what I wanted Good. - you were asking about delivery options and I would suggest just picking the standard one (you're in the UK, i hope), which is is signed for delivery? 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

Ah Sampsa, that's not a filter but rather faint memory...

Init'ing Mylex DAC stuff from within VMS?

by hvlems＠zonnet.nl

Yes, the utility exists but I've never installed it. You can initialize the controller and the arrays on a pc though. -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE [mailto:owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE] Namens Sampsa Laine Verzonden: maandag, september 2011 21:46 Aan: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Onderwerp: [HECnet] Init'ing Mylex DAC stuff from within VMS? So let's say I manage to get this second controller going, is there something like RCU to initialise the arrays from inside VMS whilst keeping the box running? I understand there's a SWXCR utility or something for this? Sampsa

-----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: H Vlems [mailto:hvlems at zonnet.nl] Verzonden: maandag, september 2011 19:14 Aan: 'hecnet at Update.UU.SE' Onderwerp: RE: [HECnet] And yet more begging: KZPAC style controller? I get it, you show me yours and I show your mine, right ;-) Your photo shows a large pcb on top of the connector I referred to. See picture *92 for an overall view of the controller. Photo *91 shows the PCB in some more detail while photo *90 shows the socket itself. I hope this helps, but if the big PCB on your controller uses the same socket (or so it seems) then please ignore my previous post on this subject.
