Here's the text that my RIS server printed last time it booted: Ultrix Worksystem V2.1 (Rev. 14) System #1: Fri Jan 19 13:57:10 PST 1990 real mem = 8388608 avail mem = 5562368 using 204 buffers containing 835584 bytes of memory KN01 processor - system rev 1 cpu0 ( version 1.6, implementation 2 ) fpu0 ( version 1.5, implementation 3 ) rz0 ( RZ55 ) rz1 ( RZ55 ) rz4 ( RRD40 ) tz5 ( TK50 ) se0 ( ethernet address 8-0-2b-e-d6-d5 ) As you can see, there's an RRD40 attached. If you have an RRD40, you should also be able to use it under Ultrix 3.1. I'm running standard bits on this machine, so there's nothing special you need to do. In fact, you should be able to boot from the RRD40. If you're having trouble, you've probably either cabled it up wrong, set the unit number and options switches incorrectly (I can never get them right either), or the unit is defective. I suggest that you double-check your installation, and then call Field Service if that doesn't work. I'd be interested to know who told you that the RRD40 doesn't work... _MelloN_
