HP SRM
SRM = Shared Resource Manager. SRMs are basicly file servers altough I
suspect what he has may actually be computers with the SRM interface card
in them. I've never even seen a SRM but I've seen lots of HP computers with
the interface cards. FWIW the computers will still run any of the standard
HP OSs; HP-UX (Unix), BASIC, Pascal and HPL.
[I'm a bit late for this...]
I have one SRM server box and here are some details:
Model 50960A with 98204A composite video card (took me a while to
find a monitor.. settled on an on Philips mono), a pretty
normal Human Interface card, 50926A SRM interface card, Moto 68000
with 512 KB memory and a 7946 for mass storage (50 MB hd + 9144 cartridge
tape). Everything in normal DIO-I bus, SRM version 2.2. I also have two
SRM cards that I intend to hook up to some HP-UX boxen but I have to
look up some documentation first (like uh, network topology, termination (?),
cable impedance etc.. in short, I know nothing).
This is the "server" portion of the system? I've been wondering what
kind of computer system it required and weather or not it used the same SRM
interface card. I haven't been able to find any details about the server
end of the system. What is the SRM software like?
