Do a "SHOW DEV:DU" and you'll see it - for example, on my 5.7 system: .show dev:du Device Status CSR Vector(s) ------ ------ --- --------- DU Resident 172150 154 150 144 140 DU0: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 0, PART = 0 DU1: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 1, PART = 0 DU2: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 2, PART = 0 DU3: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 3, PART = 0 DU4: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 4, PART = 0 DU5: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 5, PART = 0 DU6: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 6, PART = 0 DU7: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 7, PART = 0 D10: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 8, PART = 0 D11: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 9, PART = 0 D12: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 10, PART = 0 D13: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 11, PART = 0 D14: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 12, PART = 0 D15: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 13, PART = 0 D16: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 14, PART = 0 D17: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 15, PART = 0 D20: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 16, PART = 0 D21: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 17, PART = 0 D22: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 18, PART = 0 D23: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 19, PART = 0 D24: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 20, PART = 0 D25: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 21, PART = 0 D26: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 22, PART = 0 D27: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 23, PART = 0 D30: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 3, PART = 0 D31: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 3, PART = 1 D32: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 3, PART = 2 D33: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 3, PART = 3 D34: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 3, PART = 4 D35: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 3, PART = 5 D36: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 3, PART = 6 D37: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 3, PART = 7 D40: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 4, PART = 0 D41: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 4, PART = 1 D42: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 4, PART = 2 D43: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 4, PART = 3 D44: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 4, PART = 4 D45: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 4, PART = 5 D46: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 4, PART = 6 D47: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 4, PART = 9 D50: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 4, PART = 8 D51: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 4, PART = 9 D52: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 4, PART = 10 D53: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 43, PART = 0 D54: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 44, PART = 0 D55: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 45, PART = 0 D56: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 46, PART = 0 D57: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 47, PART = 0 D60: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 4, PART = 0 D61: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 5, PART = 0 D62: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 6, PART = 0 D63: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 7, PART = 0 D64: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 8, PART = 0 D65: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 9, PART = 0 D66: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 10, PART = 0 D67: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 11, PART = 0 D70: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 4, PART = 1 D71: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 5, PART = 1 D72: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 6, PART = 1 D73: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 7, PART = 1 D74: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 8, PART = 1 D75: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 9, PART = 1 D76: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 10, PART = 1 D77: is set PORT = 0, UNIT = 11, PART = 1 Another thing that helps with keeping tracks of large numbers of partitions is to assign descriptive Volume ID and owner fields to the partitions. For example: .init ld4:/volu LD4:/Initialize; Are you sure? Y Volume ID? junk Owner? me .dir/vol ld4: Volume ID: junk Owner : me 0 Files, 0 Blocks 1986 Free blocks Presumably, you'll find something more useful than "junk" and "me" to fill the fields in with :-) -- Tim Shoppa Email: shoppa(a)trailing-edge.com Trailing Edge Technology WWW: http://www.trailing-edge.com/ 7328 Bradley Blvd Voice: 301-767-5917 Bethesda, MD, USA 20817 Fax: 301-767-5927

RT-11 DU configuration

by healyzh＠aracnet.com

OK, having chanted the proper incantations, and performed the various rites in the correct sequence I now have my RT-11 system as close to being back together with all the various programs as I'm going to, until I get a chance to redo the Macro-11 exercises I lost. Actually I've got a little more than I had as I added a few games :^) Now that I've got it back running V5.4 I noticed something interesting, under V5.3 when you do a 'SHOW DEV' in the section for DU it lists the how DU0: through DU7: are configured. This is very nice when you've got partitions ranging across a couple disks. However, this feature seems to be missing under V5.4, is there any way to get this information, or do I simply need to write it down? Now that I've got two "Backup" Hard Drives made, and most of the stuff backed up on a RL02, I've got to get a "Working" Hard Drive built so I can get back to the project of trying to get TCP/IP configured :^) Zane | Zane H.

DEC Pro Technical Manual

by djenner＠halcyon.com

I picked up a Professional 300 Series "Technical Manual" (EK-PC350-TM-001) yesterday that covers just the Pro 350. It is a voluminous tome with lots of details about the Pro hardware. Is there a comparable volume for the Pro 380? Does anyone have one or has anyone ever seen one? Thanks, Dave

Ferguson BIG-BOARD mod's

by edick＠idcomm.com

Some weeks back, Allison Parent wrote about some mods for the AMPRO LITTLE BOARD-I to improve performance. These were interesting, but now I'm looking for published mod's for the Ferguson BIG-BOARD, which was quite popular, but had only Single-Density floppy support via a WD 1771 and which used a standard (2.5 MHz) Z-80. I'm interested in finding out whether there are any published modifications, supported with code, to enhance this board's speed, and to upgrade its FDC to a 179x type using both FM and MFM. I've got aboug half a dozen of these boards and want to know that there's a way to fix them up before I pass them on to interested parties. Does anyone know of a reliable source of such material?

Williams Tube memory, Selectron question, and Charactron

by allisonp＠world.std.com

<deflection coils to steer the electrons through a character stencil (like <shadow mask), and a second set of deflection coils to steer the electrons <to the desired character location on the screen. If memory serves, this <type of display was used on Whirlwind. Presumably it was more economical <than using a standard XY oscilliscope with either a hardware vector charact <generator or software. It was also used in some terminals and Xerox high speed eletrophotograpic printers. The later being basically a Xerox copier with a charactron as the image source. Allison

Bell & Howell Micromodule 85 : info wanted

by ss＠allegro.com

Hi, I picked up a Bell & Howell "micromodule 85", which is a single board microprocessor trainer for the Intel 8085. But...I have no docs for it, and can't find any on the web. BTW, it's got the worst keypad I've seen...here's an ASCII picture: 4 5 8 C W R 3 6 9 D P D 2 7 A E L S 1 0 B F X B -------------- ------ white keys red keys (may look better with fixed font) Yes, the "1", "2", "3", "4", "5" indeed climbs up and then turns to the right. Extremely weird! It powers up, at least :) thanks, Stan Sieler sieler(a)allegro.com

30 pin simms

by allisonp＠world.std.com

< <I will check to see if Best Buy has anymore 16 meg simms, since $25 is goo <price ?? Up north they almost give them away. < Keep this in mind... Most systems that use 30 pin simms require either sets of two (mostly old 386s) or sets of 4. So 16mb 30 pin simms are going to net 64mb ($100) of ram in a 486... The common and desired parts are 4mb. The average 486 will use either four or eight of them to net 16 or 32mb. The later being more resonable for that class of cpu. Allison
