I've been testing my changes to Tops-20 NFT and
ran into what what I
thought were some perhaps interesting results, viz:
NFT>*i twonky*
Attempting connection to TWONKY:: [31.37]
Maximum buffer size: _0!_
Operating System: Tops-10, File System: Tops-10
DAP: 7.0, DECnet: _0.0_
NFT>*i ostara*
Attempting connection to OSTARA:: [31.15]
Maximum buffer size: 4096
Operating System: Ultrix-32, File System: _13 (Unknown)_
DAP: 7.0, DECnet: 1.0
Note that I am clipping the capability display for these examples. By
"interesting", I was surprised to find that Tops-10 is reporting a
buffer size of zero, but more by it reporting a DECnet version of 0.0.
That matches what I see from RSX. Tops-10 looks almost broken, if you as
me. I suspect it just wasn't developed and tested much in the latter
days, compared to TOPS-20.
Where are these version numbers defined? For Ultrix, I
would assume that
I need a more up-to-date list of file systems, given that the highest
that DAP 5.6 states is 9 for OS-8 (!!)
I have a slightly more up to date list in RSX, but I extended it further
based on observations myself.
I think I posted it before, but anyway:
