Hi Again, I haven't been able to get my hands on a KZPCA yet, (some of you had suggestions who to ask, I'm pursuing those leads now) but in the meantime, I took a good look at the KZPAA card I do have. It's a 53C810-based card, which is fairly similar to the 53C895. The good news is that this card does not have any firmware. Due to the similarities with the 53C895 it turned out to be not that hard to come up with a working emulation. I just successfully booted OpenVMS off an emulated SCSI disk. I've committed the new code to the CVS repository. It will also be in the next release. You'll need to change your config file, replace 53c895 with 53c810, and all scsi-disks should be in the 0.0 - 0.6 range (sorry, no wide scsi on this card). Camiel.

Hello all,
I started the OpenVMS 8.3 with SCSI, for the moment it seems all
fine... just a repeated debug message on DOS console:
SYM: attempt to xfer more bytes than expected.
a lot of times...
is it normal?
thanks,
fausto

Hello again,
maybe too fast to write my previous message :-)
The emulator crashed when it started to format the disk with this message:
pci0.3(sym53c810).disk0.0(file): Unknown SCSI command 0x03.
SCSI Command Failed: ..\Disk.cpp, line 1390
Freeing memory in use by system...
%VGA-I-SHUTDOWN: vga console has shut down.
Maybe there's something still not emulated...

Hello,
I've made a couple of changes (implemented some missing SCSI
commands), but now an attempt to initialize (format) a SCSI disk fails
with
$ init dka500 test
%INIT-F-MEDOFL, medium is offline
$
Which is a bit strange, because sho dev shows the device as "online".
The attempt to format the disk increases the error-count by one.
Camiel.

And once again a mail on this subject:
I think the problem has been solved. The SCSI command READ CAPACITY
returned the number of blocks on disk, where it should return the LBA
address of the last block on disk (which is one less); this caused
initialize to try to write beyond the last block. This has been fixed,
and initialize now works.

Hello Camiel,
did you update the CVS?
I updated the code few mins ago, but now the OpenVMS 8.3 installation
seems to loop shortly after the OpenVMS banner.
These are the memory addresses: 187868 | ffffffff801aa170
285915 | ffffffff80012208
Before the latest update (when I reported the format error), 1 min
after the openvms banner, I had "Installing some known required
files..." message, but in this case, after about 10 mins, nothing
happens.
regards,
fausto

Hi Fausto,
Yes, I did update the code in CVS. I'm trying to boot from the VMS 8.3
installation cd on the scsi bus, and I see what you mean.
It seems to be looping on a sequence of 4 scsi commands:
INQUIRY
READ DISK INFO
INQUIRY
TEST UNIT READY
I'll see if I can find out what's going on...
Camiel.

Hello Fausto,
I found that this was caused by the READ DISC INFO command. This
command is required only on CD-R/RW devices, which we're not
emulating, so rather than try to fi it, I removed support for this
command, returning an ILLEGAL REQUEST sense code instead.
I've updated it in CVS as well.
Camiel.

Hello Camiel,
i'm testing the new code, all seems ok. Now the init works and the
installation proceed without any probs.
Just a quick update... during the installation boot, I have these
"errors" (????):
SYM: xfer 240 bytes, max 239 expected, in phase 1.
SYM: xfer 256 bytes, max 255 expected, in phase 1.
SYM: xfer 256 bytes, max 255 expected, in phase 1.

etc...
are they normal?

Hello Fausto,
Yes, those appear to be quite normal. Basically it is the scsi driver
asking for more data than the device has to offer. The device will
respectfully decline to send more bytes, and the driver has no problem
with that. I'll put the messages inside a conditional statement, as
they are only meaningful when debugging the SCSI-interface.
Camiel.
P.S. These specific occurrences of this message are all related to
OpenVMS' use of the MODE SENSE command. It will set up a buffer of 256
bytes for it, tell the device to perform a MODE SENSE command and
return 255 bytes max (the maximum allowed), then try to get up to 256
bytes from the device.

Hello all,
some news from Installation world :-)
The Openvms installation fails (40%) with a OpenVMS error (no errors
in DOS console), maybe some memory error (???).
%PCSI-I-PRCOUTPUT, output from subprocess follows ...
%SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=00, virtual
address=000000000019E08C, PC=000000007FDC3BB4, PS=0000001B
%PCSI-E-MODREPLERR, error replacing module INSTALL in library
DISK$ALPHASYS:[VMS$COMMON.][SYSLIB]DCLTABLES.EXE
-SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=!XB, virtual
address=!XH, PC=!XH, PS=!XL
%PCSI-E-OPFAILED, operation failed
Terminating is strongly recommended. Do you want to terminate? [YES]
I replied "NO" :-) So I'll keep you in touch about the news...
regards,
fausto

Hello Fausto,
We've seen those occasionally during the installation process.
Sometimes it all works flawless, sometimes we come across one or more
of these ACCVIO's... It beats me... It's usually fine if you reply NO
to the "terminate" question.
Camiel.

Hello all,
after 6 hours the installation is always at 50%.
I don't think it's a nice thing.
Has anybody some experience with timings of OpenVMS 8.3 installation.
My PC is quite fast... quadcore with 4GB of ram, so I don't think it's
a speed problem.
By the way I'll keep the emulator running for other 2 hours... and let's see.
:-)
regards,
fausto

Hi Fausto,
As I reported last week, I had also the same error, and the instalation took
a looooong time (more than 14 hours, and the computer is too powerful), but
finally I have got installed..
I have a 'method' of knowing if there is progress or the program is
freezed.. I make a " strings file.img | wc -l " to see if the number of
strings in the image increments

Hi again:
I forget to mention I have installed openvms 7.3 not 8.3. By the way, is
there a method to extend the capacity of the img file? I was too short with
600Mb and now I want to make a installation in a bigger disk, but I don like
to wait again a lot of hours.
