For any MSCP disk, the proper way to find out how many sectors there are
is to ask the disk. The `unit online' command (which has to be used anyway,
to tell the controller to connect to the disk) reports the unit size in
sectors; the `get unit status' command reports the number of sectors per
track, tracks per group, and groups per cylinder. (The term `group' here
is MSCP-speak which I've never really understood; the idea seems to be that
groups are collections of cylinders that can be switched between with relatively
little time penalty, whereas switching between even adjacent cylinders is more
expensive.)
Beware, however, that modern disks usually don't have a fixed number of
sectors per track; the tracks furthest from the spindle have more sectors,
so that more of the disk surface can be used without too much density
variation. Such `zoned' disks weren't common (maybe they didn't even exist)
when the MSCP spec was first written; maybe the RA92 is new enough that it
has zones.
I've never been convinced that worrying in great detail about track and
cylinder sizes gains much performance anyway, but that's another story.
Hi,
I wonder, does anyone know for sure what is the user capacity of an RA92 in
blocks? I'm now updating disktab(5) and the driver tables in 4.3BSD-Quasijarus
to cover new RA disks, and I can't figure out the user capacity of RA92 in
blocks. For all other RA disks with no exceptions (all RA8x, all RA7x, and
RA90) the user capacity in blocks is exactly equal to the number of cylinders
multiplied by the number of heads multiplied by the number of sectors, i.e., no
funny reserved sectors or tracks or anything like that. Looking in the
disktab(5) from Ultrix V4.2 I see a perfect match between the geometry and the
partition sizes for all disks except RA92. The RA92 entry indicates 3279
cylinders, 13 heads, and 69 sectors per track, but partition c is listed as
2940951 blocks instead of 3279*13*69=2941263 blocks. Does anyone know for sure
whether the user capacity of an RA92 is 2940951 blocks, 2941263 blocks, or
something else altogether?

Hi,
Having solved the RA72 problem and the KDA50 problem, I'm ready to attack the
next problem. :-( This time the TK50. I have a very odd problem with it. When I
first power up the VAX, everything works fine. I can read tapes, restore dumps,
etc. Then after some uptime (apparently something heat-related) it starts
behaving very oddly. Tapes with 512-byte records still read just fine, but
trying to read a tape with 10240-byte records (such as a UNIX filesystem dump
tape) results in the controller returning a hard error indication of "record
data truncated". This is so odd that I first thought it was a software problem,
but it isn't, because this happens identically under 4.3BSD-Quasijarus0 and
Ultrix V4.0, whose TMSCP drivers are completely different. The fact that the
problem occurs only after some uptime suggests some kind of overheat, which
would normally be a very low-level physical problem, but the record size
dependence suggests something high-level, more likely the controller than the
drive. This MicroVAX is still under the dealer's warranty (I just bought it on
Monday), so if this is a bad drive or controller, I can replace it, which which
of the two is it? Has anyone ever seen this problem before? Does anyone know
whether it is the drive or the controller that's bad? TIA.

P.S. The temperature in the machine room is 70F. Not the best for a machine
room, but the best you'd ever expect for an office, and I think the VAX has no
right to go on strike at 70F.
V7M was the DEC distribution of V7 (pre Ultrix days). Fred Canter did
most of the work, along with Jerry Brenner and Armando Stettner. It
supported non ID space machines, and some of the newer DEC hardware.
My manual lists it as working with :-
CPUS:- 11/23, 34, 44, 45/50/55, 60 and 70
Disks:- RL02, RK06, RK07, RM02/3, RP04/5
Tapes:- TU10, TE10, TU16, TE16, TS11
There was a strip down of V6 called Miniunix that would run on machines
without memory management, such at the 11/20, 05, 10 and 35/40 (without MMU
option). It required a full 56Kb machine, used the first 28Kb for the kernel
and swapped the last 28Kb for each process. Pipes worked by using a temporary
inode to store the data and swapping the processes. It was realllllllll slow.
The was also a similar version for 11/03's. I remember that there was an early
bug in that updates would always rewrite open inodes (last access time had
changed). You could physically wear out a floppy disk, since it was forever
rewriting the sector with the inode for the console terminal.

Well, actually the M was for Modified. Particularly modified to work
with some more DEC peripherals.
What ran on 11/20's was Mini-Unix, which was a stripped-down 6th
Edition. By the way I'm not sure that the PUPS archive has a Mini-Unix
tape. I have one, although it has not been read since the days when I
had an 11/20.

Yep, it's in Distributions/usdl/Mini-Unix. It's not in the research/

The IPL autodetect code has seemed to me as unneccessary. You know that
the KDA50 will always interrupt at spl5, so you can hard-code it in
the interrupt driver and nuke the autodetect code. The same with the
other drivers that can be on Qbus:
if (uh->uh_type == QBA)
spl5();
-- Ragge
Hi,
I wonder, does anyone here know anything about the KDA50? I've solved my RA72
problem (as it turns out, if there is no control panel connected, the drive
assumes normal operation, i.e., spin up, go on-line, enable port A, no write
protect, and the unit number between 0 and 7 is set by the switches on the
right side of the drive), but now I have a different problem: I can't get UNIX
(4.3BSD-Quasijarus of course) to recognize the KDA50, although it worked fine
on my Webster ESDI controller back in Ohio, and others have also reported
successfully booting it on different controllers. By inserting a few debugging
printouts in the uda driver, I have determined that it fails the udaprobe(). I
know very little about UDA50/KDA50 registers, so I may be wrong, but it looks
to me that the code is trying to do the following. It diddles the controller
registers to make it start the initialization. Then apparently it expects the
controller to interrupt and set some status bits in some register. However,
because of Q-bus's odd interrupt protocol and the need to determine the IPL of
the controller, the procedure is done non-trivially. First it does an spl6(),
disabling all interrupts except BR7 (which these controllers apparently don't
use). Then it does the register diddling and testing with these interrupts
disabled. It allows the CPU to field the interrupt only when the register bits
indicate that the operation has been performed and the interrupt has been
posted. Apparently the assumption is that the controller will post the
interrupt and then set the right bits in the right registers without waiting
for the CPU to field the interrupt. Also apparently the KDA50 is different and
doesn't set those bits until the interrupt is fielded, breaking this code.
So my questions to the folks are: First, is my understanding of the situation
correct? Second, what can be done about it? I guess as a temporary solution I
can remove this problematic IPL autodetection code and hard-code the IPL of my
KDA50, but what is it? Is the IPL set with switches on the KDA50 or how? And
what do the KDA50 switches do in the first place? Does anyone know? TIA.

My recollection is that V7M stood for V7-mini. It was a
striped down version of V7 that was designed to run on
the very low-end PDP-11's (like the 11/20).

Hmmm, interesting. My memories dredge up the 'M' as meaning
"Modified". Don't recall it ever being touted as 11/20 capable
56kb, no MMU would be a wee bit too mini I'd think - was there ever
a V7 that could run without an MMU? If there was I've completely
forgotten about it.

Hi,
I wonder, does anyone know how to set the unit number on an RA72 manually,
without the RA7x control panel? I need to put two RA72s in a BA123, I have the
skidplates under the drives, the KDA50 and the right internal SDI cables, but
this is a BA123, so I don't have that RA7x control panel they put in 3500/3600
skunk boxes. I know that on RF drives if you don't have that panel connector,
the drive has its own switches or jumpers to set the DSSI node number, and I'm
sure that the same is true for the SDI unit number on RA7x drives. There is a
pack of 3 DIP switches on the right side of the RA72, is that the unit number?
If so, is bit 0 on the left or on the right? Is 1 up or down? TIA.

No, I don't know of any free ones. I think DEC have one for the Alpha,
but it's commercial. Does anybody know of a VAX emulator? I wonder if
Bob Supnik would be working on one.

What DEC has for the Alpha to let you run VAX code is VEST, which is
a translator, not a pure emulator.

Well, during 1977-1978 VAX instruction set development was done
on an 11/70 running an emulator. Does that count? :-)

I mentioned this to Warren a few months back, but I don't think I
sent it out to the mailing list, so excuse me if I am repeating myself.
Anyhow, I have hacked together a version of a Unix 5th (and 6th)
Edition filesystem for Linux. It is read only, and was written for
Linux 2.0 on an x86 and so will require a little work to install on
other systems and newer kernels, but it is fun to be able to mount
old disk images. Now only if I had the time to get it read-write ...

If you do manage to read them, could you make INFO-VAX messages (if there
are any, of course) available? I'd like to merge them with other INFO-VAX
archives, for completeness. (I run a WebGlimpse-based searchable archive
of classiccmp and INFO-VAX, URL below.)

Visited your web page and looked at your page for SunOS and Solaris
I can add more history:
I believe the first public release of SunOS was 0.9 so I will start there
SunOS Aprox Date Comments
_____ __________ _____________________________
0.9 1983 First relase for the oldest Sun1 CPU boards
As I recall the Sun1 CPU boards were 68000 boards
(Maybe 68010?) with 256Kb ram on board.
This relase was a quick and dirty port of AT&T's
version of UNIX, not BSD. No window system.
I ran the very last tech support workstation running
SunOS 0.9, a machine called onefive (the name as I
recall referred to the hardware.
1.0 1984 (1983?) First relase for the new Sun2 CPU boards.
68010 CPU and no memory on the mother board
Introduced Sun's SunTools window system.
1.1 1984-03-12 From SunOS 1.1 Installation Guide
First stable SunOS release (or so I was told
as we upgraded systems to 1.1)
Required Rev N PROMS on the mother board
2.0 1985-04-15 From "System Administration for the Sun Workstation"
Revision history: "First Customer release of this
System Administration Manual"
Support for Sun2/50 and 2/160 VME based workstations.
First general release of NFS and NIS
2.3 1986-03-21 From SunOS 2.3 Upgrade tape
(Photocopy of Proof tape from SQA)
3.0 1986-02-17 From "Writing Device Drivers for the Sun Workstation"
Supports new Sun 3 68020 architecture.
4.0 1988-05-09 From "SunOS 4.0 Change Notes"
"Key improvements incorporated by SunOS 4.0 include:
* New system architecture that promotes system
resource sharing and portability across
different hardware platforms.
* Share library facility that reduces program size
and swap space requirements.
* Resizable swap area for diskless clients
* Secure networking through the use of RPC
(Remote Procedure Call).
* NFS (Network File System) replaces ND (Network Disk)
for diskless client systems. The Effect of this is
to make system administration easier and more
flexible.
* All of the $.3 BSD network changes are incorporated
including TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and
IP (Internet Protocol) performance improvements
and subnetting.
* Automount facility that automatically mounts
accessible remote filesystems as needed."
Supports new Sun 4 SPARC architecture.
4.0.3 1989-04-24 From "Documentation Erata and Changes Pages
For SunOS Release 4.0.3"
4.0.3c 1989-06-06 From "SPARCstation-1 SunOS 4.0.3 Sun-4c Release Notes"
4.1 1990-03-27 From SunOS 4.1 "Installing The SunOS"
Hope this helps to fill out the timeline.

So are they now on minnie or not? If they are, then where? I just looked and
couldn't find them.

OK, good, I see you've labeled your system disk.
> ra1 at uda0 slave 1trap type 6, code = 2, pc = 80031b1c
> panic: Arithmetic fault
OK, trap 6 code 2 is integer divide by zero on the VAX. My obvious guess is
that the disk has a garbage label on it and when the kernel tries to interpret
it, it divides by zero and blows up. A garbage label is something worse than no
label at all, because the label structure has a magic at the beginning, and
trust me, the kernel does check it and it does not blow up with a divide by
zero when block 0 is all zeros.
Wilko, what exactly do you have in the label block of disk 1? If you've been
following my installation instructions to the letter, that disk would be your
Ultrix disk. My installation instructions call for labeling the BSD disk, but
not the Ultrix disk. In fact, putting a BSD label on an Ultrix bootable disk
would render it unbootable, as Ultrix has boot code where BSD has the label.
This means that normally when someone follows my Ultrix-based installation
procedure, BSD will simply view the Ultrix disk as unlabeled and make it one
big partition a. You obviously have something else in there.
> Exactly the same thing happens when I use 4.3reno instead of the Quasijarus

Well, this at least means that this is not yet another one of my own bugs, so
that's the good news. :-) But sure, the kernel could do with a few more label
sanity checks so that it prints a nice error message instead of blowing up.
I'll look into it.

All,
Dennis Ritchie just emailed me with a URL about Dan Bricklin's
efforts to release his original VisiCalc:
http://www.bricklin.com/history/vcpostingreactions.htm
The URL contains a link to an email from Dennis about his attempts to
get the older UNIX source code, and the primeval C compilers, released:

Hi all,
I also asked Dennis if we could put his two old `primeval' C
compilers into the archive. He said:
I don't have a problem with copying the compilers, more or
less as a mirror. I wonder if anyone will try to revive them?
I've had a go at reviving them today, using V5 cc and tools. It's a
real PITA I can assure you. I've got the last1120c compiler compiled,
but I can't get it to compile itself. As soon as it sees line 16 in c00.c
i = namsiz;
it complains that the LHS isn't an Lvalue.
I think I'll stop now, my brain is hurting too much :-)
Ciao,
Warren

The A-news archive "man page" article that Fischer
retrieved from Usenet of 1981, describing the original dsw,
is authentic so far as I can remember. As the article
suggests, the displayed man page is a construction,
and didn't exist as such, but it indeed described what
the ancestral program did. By a year or so later, as
documented in the First Edition manual, the behavior
and the name were already referred to as "ancient."
My, how time passes.

Hi there,
I've been trying to get 4.3BSD to run on my newly acquired MicroVAXII.
I followed the Ultrix route described in the docs in the pups tree.
I get as far as:
>>> boot dua0
2..1..0..
loading boot
Boot
: /vmunix
327184+102656+130352 start 0x23a8
4.3 BSD Quasijarus UNIX #0: Fri Dec 25 14:22:17 EST 1998
msokolov@polygon:/usr/src/sys/GENERIC
real mem = 16773120
SYSPTSIZE limits number of buffers to 112
avail mem = 14949376
using 112 buffers containing 917504 bytes of memory
MicroVAX-II
tmscp0 at uba0 csr 174500 vec 774, ipl 15
tms0 at tmscp0 slave 0
uda0 at uba0 csr 172150 vec 770, ipl 14
uda0: version 5 model 13
uda0: DMA burst size set to 4
ra0 at uda0 slave 0: MICROP , size = 1303998 sectors
ra1 at uda0 slave 1trap type 6, code = 2, pc = 80031b1c
panic: Arithmetic fault
syncing disks... done
Exactly the same thing happens when I use 4.3reno instead of the Quasijarus
kit.
Any ideas?
Wilko
