OK, I have the two from '86, but am curious about
these two. Do they
include information on the cards, or are they primarily programming
information? I'm trying to figure out what I need to get information on
the newer cards such as the RQDX3 (it's the one that comes to mind, as I
didn't have the info and had to get it from someone else when I needed
it).
The 85 edition doesn't have the RQDX3, only the RQDX1. But I would
suggest that Handbooks are not the only source of info... there are
also all the -UG (user guide), -TM (technical manual) -RC (reference
card) documents that are available. I do have one for the RQDX3. There
are also manuals in small three-ring binders for uVax systems, and
various qbus -11 systems.
For example, I have one at hand -- "VAXstation II/GPX Hardware
Information". Inside it is labelled "VAXstation II/GPX Owner's
Manual, BA123 enclosure". This has a section on the processor
and memory boards, but also has a section on available options,
RQDX3 being on of them...
AZ-GNGAA-MN
as well as the "VAXstation II/GPX Technical Manual, BA123
Enclosure",
AZ-GNFAA-MN
I checked it out after posting the last message,
it's looking a lot
better than the last time I checked it out! Still I can't believe you're
torturing VAXen by forcing them to run UNIX :^)
Thanks...
I'll have to plead mercy considering my job is unix support. Having
it running at home helps me for my job...
I wish I had that many! Thankfully I'm making
progress, I've got enough
that I can now figure a lot of stuff out for myself without asking stupid
questions all the time.
My next endeavor is to document the reference cards in my collection,
then the actual pdp-11 documentation. Then I'll have to check the
field service fiche I have to see what I have in there... I wish
I had a fiche reader (I guess I could go to the library)...
