Getting a UNIBUS on a 6520 goes something like this: - CPUs and memory live on NMI - An NMI->XMI adapter gets you to - an XMI->VAXBI adapter which gets you to - a VAXBI->UNIBUS adapter on which you can find - your UNIBUS device Occasionally the UNIBUS device would nose over. It looked to me like the VAXBI->UNIBUS adapter was getting in trouble occasionally (not necessarily surprising, given how deep things are getting piled here (did I forget to mention 6520s use write-back cache?)). About the time I was starting to get a handle on the problem my employment situation changed and I wasn't working on it anymore. I'll be surprised if I ever hear what was going on and how (or if) it got resolved. -- Roger Ivie rivie(a)teraglobal.com Not speaking for TeraGlobal Communications Corporation
