Hi,
does someone has a newer firmware Version for the UC07 as G143R?
I have a double UC07 in my 11/83 and have problems to get Disks
with 4Gbytes working. (DCAS-34330 50 pin). I have an Conner CFP2107S
wich has 2 Gigabytes, I can split the drive and successfully format
the resulting drives with XXDP or RT11. When I connect the 4GB Disks, even
when I fake the geometry to 2Gbytes, the controller successfully formts and
thest the drives, but an init du0: from updat in xxdp doesn't come back.
same with mdup.mu from an RT11 tape. It simply hangs.
Disk space isn't the concern why I'm trying to use the IBM drives, those
disk are quiet comparing to the conner 2107s, that is what I want.
Any Ideas?
Sounds like there is nothing wrong with your controller. I would suspect
the software have problems with such large disks... Not that uncommon
actually. It wasn't until RSX-11M-PLUS V4.6 that RSX correctly handles
disks larger than the max capacity of the OS (which is 8GB for RSX, by
the way, but most other OSes have smaller maxes).
