I went looking
for MSCP docs [...]
[...] MSCP Basic Disk Functions Manual AA-L619A-TK,
Version 1.2, First
Edition April 1982
That's the document I was talking about (though, as you presumably
know, it's a different scan of it).
Storage Systems Diagnostics and Utility Protocol
AA-L620A-TK April 1982
Storage System Unibus Port Description AA-L621A-TK
April 1982
Collectively they make up the UDA50 Programmer's
Documentation Kit
[...]
That is very much of interest to me.
What motivated this is that my MicroVAX-II emulator is getting to the
point where I think it may complete a build of the NetBSD world running
diskless, and I'd like to give it local disk.
But that requires knowing enough MSCP to build an MSCP disk emulator.
AA-L619A-TK has almost enough; combined with the NetBSD driver code it
may be enough. But AA-L620A-TK and AA-L621A-TK will definitely be good
to have.
If you can't find them all, they are (temporarily)
back at
http://www.dunnington.u-net.com/public/MSCP/
I've snagged copies of all three. Thank you very much.
