Does anyone have that? Would be very good to have the tools.
Don't know where to get them.
You can use the DEC diagnostics with some patches for the Emulex controllers;
there's an Emulex manual listing the patches. It's over a decade since I did
this, but I thought you could format the drive just using the on-board
firmware?
I've seen these patches in Philipp's manual and I think they are a bad
joke. Anyway they won't test Emulex specific properties of the
controllers, nor do the DEC programs know how to create RK06 partitions on
an Emulex controller; a RK06 doesn't have partitions.
According to

Ed Kelleher has the original Emulex diagnostics on RX50. Maybe he can make
copies with ImageDisk or TeleDisk?
