rtVAX 300.

I seem to recall that the rtVAX-300 module has an onboard console UART; is that the one you're connecting to when you interact with the ROM? Also, in case it is of any interest, my AEON VME board also contains a WD SCSI host adapter chip, and I have another (very thick) VME board contains a smallish SCSI hard drive and a floppy drive. FYI (and for the archives), my board is model VME-300E. According to Manx, DEC publication EK-383AA-PG is the rtVAX-300 Programmers Guide. I've not been able to find a copy online. This page gives some specifications on the AEON VME300E board, as well as the DEC KAV30, which seems to be a similar product; https://mail.encompasserve.org/anon/htnotes/note?f1=INDUSTRY_NEWS&f2=55… This seems to be some source code for an rtVAX-300 on a VME module, http://www.slac.stanford.edu/accel/ilc/codes/ATF2/control-software/epics-3.… The one interesting thing here is map_sm.c, which is code to access the VMEbus from the rtVAX-300. Of course this isn't relevant to your ISA card, but I found it interesting. In its comments, it references an object library supplied by AEON that is specific to the VME300 board. That is somewhat discouraging. I note that on my AEON board, the rtVAX-300 module is mounted in a socket. Nice! I can see building a really sweet VMS laptop around that. B-) I need to find some time to power this up. On your board, you've found that you've got a VAXELN system in ROM. I wonder if it would be worth disassembling the initialization code there to figure out how to talk to the console. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
