Dear All,
I have just received a 3400 that I intend getting NetBSD going on it.
I know that it won't support the RF discs imbedded in it but I want
to try to write the drivers for them. So:
I have taken the covers off and what I have got is:
M7624-AA KA640-AA - The CPU I guess
M7621 * 2 - Memory (2 * 8 MByte)
M3119-YA * 2
M3106
M7559 - TKQ70 and drive
I have checked the dssi (SCSI) bus and I have:
DSSI-0 RF31
DSSI-1 RF30
DSSI-2 RF30
I am after programming notes/manuals for all of the above, including
the CPU. My background is PDP-11 and I have very little VAX experience.
As a result I have no manuals and the like floating about.
I will be happy to cover any reasonable photocopying costs.
I believe that I can install an MSCP emulator for SCSI discs that I
can use to boot this system using the existing NetBSD VAX port. What
I need is sufficient for me to develop or mod an existing driver for the
embeded SCSI controller and add disc support. Hopefully I can use the
stuff from the pmax port for this but I need the manuals to check it
all through.
Can anybody help?.
