XENIX 286

by compoobah＠valleyimplants.com

SCO was not blind to the advantages of having single-binaries across the product line when possible, so most XENIX-386 utilities et al were compiled segmented-286. The easiest way to check is as follows, if you have a Linux machine. -build a kernel with SYSTEM V/XENIX/Coherent FS available as a module or built-it -mount the N1 disk (standard SysV FS, bootable), or the image therof -"file xenix" to see the kernel type. 386 kernels will have '386' in the output of the file command. beware -- XENIX tends to be very hardware specific, and at least some of the Wyse distros were linked to Wyse HW. You may or may not be able to get it to install. The 2.3 series seems to be more forgiving than the 2.2 series, though. Remember that you will need a serial/activation code to get it installed and to get the devel environment working. Does anyone here know how the XENIX 'brand' setup works? it somehow modifies the binaries, but I don't have the devel environment or a disassembler so I don't know how.

Sound Blaster PCI + DOS?

by bpope＠wordstock.com

Hello, Does anyone know of a Sound Blaster compatible *PCI* card that works under DOS? I have searched Creative Labs website and it looks like their PCI 64 / 128 sound cards will not work under DOS since there are no DOS driver available. :( Thanks, Bryan

Transferring from PC to PDP11, perhaps virtual devices?

He wishes to move info in both directions. His problem is that he is running RSTS 6C and he knows of no drivers for ethernet for that version of OS. Migration to a later version is out of the question since the OS has been highly modified. He considered serial and non-DMA parallel ports, but the maximum transfer rate under non-DMA transfers is about 50kB/sec. Since the TU10 interface is fairly simple and DMA we have started looking there for a fast-and-easy route. Any other suggestions? CRC

Transferring from PC to PDP11, perhaps virtual devices?

by jplist＠kiwigeek.com

Greetings all; I am trying to help out a friend with a data transfer process to simplify his business. The goal is to move a couple hundred Megs of data from a PC to a PDP11. Currently he has a DOS box with a Pertec controller, which he uses to copy data to a 9 track, and then pulls off on the PDP. This seems... inelegant, I can only assume there is a simpler way. I'm sure I've seen mention of 'virtual devices' on the list where a PC is running some software that makes it appear as a storage device to a piece of vintage hardware, but my Googling is making no headway in finding anything useful towards this end. Am I using the wrong terminology? Could someone point me in the right direction? Any advice? The machine in question is an 11/34 (An SMS FWT machine, actually), which has an 8" drive (unsure of it's model, it is built into the cabinet), Winchester, and a Pertec interfaced 9 track. Thanks; JP
