Hi Jonathan,
I believe I contributed this on behalf of Rick. I've checked my
own archives of this data and still have the original *.tar.gz file
I bundled back in 1992 of this tree. It is 63Kb in this form.
I would be happy to uuencode/attach it and mail it to you if you wish.
Yes, I just took a look at the PUPS archive and indeed this file
has been damaged. I'm happy to see the copy I have elsewhere is
still okay.
Warren, how shall I pass you this tar bundle for a refresh on the
PUPS archive for this?
Cheers,
-- Ken

I got the driver to come up on a second controller in E11.
Evidently the PRO350 RA driver would only work as a root drive,
which is attached via some other mechanism that I am not
familiar with. What I did to get it to autoconfig was create an
"raprobe" routine that simply returned the status code that says
"it's OK and you don't need to look for an interrupt". Crude,
but the target machine won't work without the controller
present.
Now I need to work on the boot sector. The problem is that
rauboot.s in the distribution is corrupt, in both the tree and
the tar version. See file
http://www.tuhs.org/Archive/PDP-11/Distributions/ucb/2.9-pro350/
mdec/rauboot.s, the line that begins "NDIRIN = 4." ends in
garbage, and there is a chunk of code missing.
One of the doc files, I think boot.doc, has the same problem. It
seems that the disk from which the 2.9BSD-PRO patch distribution
was prepared was slightly scrambled. There is a chunk of C code
right in the middle of the doc in place of some important info.
I've been able to reconstruct most of rauboot.s by comparing
with other boot programs, except I need the snippet of code for
initializing the MSCP controller. I can probably figure this out
from the 2.11 driver, but I'd much rather not have to. The 2.11
driver is very different.
Does anyone know where I can get the original file?
