Thought I'd share this fix with you all just in
case someone in the
future might make use of it.
To help disseminate it, I uploaded the fix to the Computer History wiki:
http://gunkies.org/wiki/CDU-710/M_disk_controller
From: Lars Brinkhoff
There's no central repository for fixes like
these?
Well, the CH wiki would be a good place, but creating new accounts on it is
proving to be difficult.
I'm trying to get ahold of one of the two bureacrats, to make me an admin
(I've been one on Wikipedia since the Devonian), so I can create accounts for
people, but so far no luck.

If nothing else it should be be easy enough to start with 0, then
update to 0a 0b and then 0c. so we have what history is available.
(checks github)
Aha - I see that johnwfinigan has already put up a 0c, though it
doesn't seem to have the 0, 0a & 0b history
https://github.com/johnwfinigan/4.3BSD-quasijarus0c/commits/master
Actually I might just do the 0..0c history into a github entry myself,
then anyone else can just {v,}fork and take it from there as desired :-p

No sooner said than done :)
In case it proves of interest to anyone. Happy for it to be forked
(obviously!) or to have patches or pull requests punted back to me

Very cool, thanks for setting that up! I have one other fix for the
UDA50 driver (that allows Emulex SCSI controllers to work properly) that
I'll combine with my CMD fix and I'll send you a patch when I have it
ready...

If I remember correctly it contains some patches from Michael Sokolov not
contained in 0c.
I've had some conversations with him in the past, had a 0c running on a
KA630 System with Emulex UC08 and a 8Gig Tandberg Tape drive.

I wonder if GNU Emacs 16/17, or Gosling Emacs runs 4.3BSD?
I could set up an emulator, but if you guys already have it running,
maybe you'd like to give it a shot?
GNU Emacs 16.56 and 17.62.

Gosling Emacs. These are modified, not sure if they retain support for
the Unix systems they originally ran on.
