That's a driver issue and was some sort of "business
decision".
(means "got screwed up by suits for no good reason")
And it is an MSCP controller, is it not?
As far as I can remember, no. That was the point. It is a SCSI
controller, not an MSCP controller.
By the way, yes, there is plenty of SCSI support in VMS. All of the more
modern VAXstations and whatnot have only native SCSI, and no MSCP or
similar.

Jonny I have had a very similar problem on my experimental KA630 uVAXII
with the Emulex UC07/08 Controllers. I've tried to connect some IBM 4GB
Disk since they where quiet. That hasn't worked at all. The Emulex
Firmware was happy, but neighter the RT11 (with an 11/53 CPU) nor the
VAX could access the two logical disks I've created on that drive.
Must have something todo with the emulex firmware that I have on that
controller.

Holm
