Copying RL02 image under RSX

by bob＠jfcl.com

(That won't cope with bad blocks, though. Are you sure ? I thought the DL driver did the bad block revectoring. Bob

Copying RL02 image under RSX

by Paul_Koning＠Dell.com

Perhaps simplest would be to boot a RSTS system on that machine, and write the 4 line Basic-PLUS program that will do the moral equivalent of "dd" to do the image copy. (That won't cope with bad blocks, though. In fact, if you have bad blocks in different spots on source vs. destination, you need a file structured copy.) paul On Jul 11, 2013, at 6:51 PM, Bob Armstrong wrote: I have an RL02 pack and a RSX system and I want to 1) copy a sector by sector image of the RL02 to a 20480 block file and then b) mount a new pack, BAD it, and then copy the same image back to the new pack. On VMS I d just use COPY /DEVICE or maybe BACKUP /PHYSICAL, but I m having a tough time figuring out the RSX equivalent. I thought PIP would do it, ( PIP FOO.IMG=DL0: ) but that fails if the disk isn t mounted or if it s mounted as /FOREIGN. I don t think BRU or DSC understand non-ODS volumes, and I don t know any other utilities that copy files. FWIW, the pack is from an ancient Unix and is not in Files11, RT11, or any other format that RSX knows about. Otherwise my only choice will be to fire up the 730 so I can get an RL02 attached to a real operating system :) Thanks, Bob

Quick and nasty conversion of nodenames.dat for /etc/decnet.conf

by tonyblews＠gmail.com

So, I got bored, and bashed this thing together: #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> int main(void) { char line[128]; char *nodenum, *nodename; int i; while (gets(line)!=NULL) { if (line[0] != ) { nodenum = strtok (line, \n ); nodename = strtok (NULL, \n ); for(i = 0; nodename[i]; i++) { nodename[i] = tolower(nodename[i]); } printf( node\t\t%s\t\tname\t\t%s\n ,nodenum,nodename); } } } So on the linux box: # gcc -o mkhecnodes mkhecnodes.c # dncopy 1.13::nodenames.dat nodenames.dat # ./mkhecnodes <nodenames.dat >> /etc/decnet.conf It works for me. Tony.

I eventually switched software and re-did the config and got it working. We DID try vendor support though (we tried every other option). That failed as the vendor support misunderstood our question. I eventually gave up and tried a different vendor-agnostic approach. ;) I also doubt the Suits would hire someone that solves dependency hell on /AIX/ with this: http://gewt.net/installdeps.sh.txt -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net Personal stuff http://gimme-sympathy.org Projects

Anyone going to Silicon Dreams in the UK this weekend?

by mark＠wickensonline.co.uk

It's kind of VCF-GB 2013 with other stuff going on, in Leicestershire. I'm taking the family as Simon the organiser has tried to make it very family friendly. I was originally down to exhibit but RL has totally got in the way with that pipe-dream. Also please note that retrochallenge.org has just started the Summer Competition. Still time to enter. Regards, Mark.
