Message-ID: <1990Aug14.160717.179@murdoch.acc.Virginia.EDU> Date: 14 Aug 90 16:07:17 GMT Sender: news@murdoch.acc.Virginia.EDU Organization: University of Virginia Lines: 29 I have a TS11 tape drive installed on my MicroVAX II. Controller = Emulex TC02/FS Tape Drive = Cipher M890 Cachetape(TM) Standard csr = 0172520 Standard intr vector = 224 I desparately need to boot from this device, but of course the MicroVAX boot ROM never heard of a TS11 tape drive. You're supposed to have TK50s. Anybody know some magic incantations I can type at the console to boot from a TS11 tape drive? Something like: >>> HALT >>> GOTO JAIL >>> DONOT COLLECT $200 :-) Many thanks in advance.
