After the INSTALL command the driver knows 12 serial channels.
Logical Address UART
$84000000 RAM port of the first IBC-20
$00000001 The first serial channel of the first IBC
$00000002 The second serial channel of the first IBC-20
$00000003 The third serial channel of the first IBC-20
$B4000000 RAM port of the second IBC-20
$B8000000 RAM port of the third IBC-20
$00000004 The first serial channel of the third IBC-20
$00000005 The second serial channel of the third IBC-20
$00000006 The third serial channel of the third IBC-20
$00000007 The fourth serial channel of the third IBC-20
$00000008 The fifth serial channel of the third IBC-20
$00000009 The sixth serial channel of the third IBC-20
To inform the kernel about the second channel of the third IBC-20, type:
? BP $1905,1,8,$5
Now port 5 is connected to the second serial device on the EAGLE module. The baud rate is set to 9600
baud. The handshake is set to XON/XOFF.
A6.2 Disk Driver
VMEPROM supports up to two floppy disk drives and up to four hard disk drives per driver. The first floppy
controller and every hard disk controller which is found on the EAGLE Module(s) are installed (up to the limit
of four hard disk drives). Hard disks must have a valid partition table on the first physical block. If none
is found a default partition table is used. The VMEPROM FRMT command must be used to define the
partitions.
Depending on the device driver task the disk access can be cached. Therefore, not every data which is
written to the disk from VMEPROM must be written to the hard disk. The FLUSH command of VMEPROM
is used to be sure that all data is written to every hard disk.
The driver for onboard EAGLE Modules automatically is installed after power up, while the offboard driver
must be installed with the command:
? INSTALL W,$FF004CC0
