The kernel has NEVER crashed in one month of operation. I have run 2.9.1 and 2.9-beta on a 11/73 system. The system contains: 11/73 processor, 1Mb PEBX ECC memory, DILOG 228 disk controller with Fujitsu 160, DILOG 132 tape coupler with Cipher 891, Emulex CS01 (dh11) in a MDB box. I have seen no problems of any type with this system. The system runs with the DILOG 132 in TSV05 mode. The only work required on 2.9.1 was for the 22-bit address space (no UNIBUS map) and for the TSV05 (it is almost a ts11). So the question seems to be: Can you run with Fujitsu Eagles on a Q-bus system? If you are doing so would you please mail me information on your system configuration, and any problems you may have encountered. The Eagle is a very nice drive but can a Q-bus based system handle the high transfer rate? I will summerize the replies I get for the net. -keith cornell!lasspvax!ksp lasspvax.ksp@cornell.arpa (607) 256-5560 Keith S. Pickens LASSP Clark Hall Cornell University Ithaca, New York 14853
