From: GWDVMS::MOELLER [moeller@gwdvms.dnet.gwdg.de] Sent: Tuesday, July 11, 2000 9:50 AM To: Info-VAX@Mvb.Saic.Com Subject: PK2K & Vs2000 EPROM patches, in the year 2000 There have been no news about PK2K for over a year ... and in addition, the larger part of Y2K has passed, without a celebration being held for the microVAX 2000/VAXstation 2000 ! So, in spite of underwhelming feed-back, I _finally_ decided to re-order my FTP directories, putting the `current' version (V1.3) of PK2K & the EPROM patch - no changes from the one which formerly could be found in the [.PREVIEW] subdirectory - into {ftp,http}://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/vms/pk2k/ and GWDW04.GWDG.DE"ANONYMOUS"::[.VMS.PK2K] The `historical' and [.TEST] versions which resided in that directory until a few minutes ago, have moved to [.OLD] and [.OLD.TEST], repectively. --- Other FTP directories of interest to VAXstation lovers: {ftp,http}://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/vms/ka420/ - EPROM patches for Vs3100 (system disk >1GB, etc.) {ftp,http}://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/vms/dk-552/ - DKDRIVER patches for VMS V5.5-2 (ARRE/AWRE bits, ZIP, JAZ, MO, ...) --- In fact, there's one piece of late news: I lately re-usurped the SCSI JAZ drive for which I had made up the DKDRIVER-JAZ patch in 1997, when there was no media I could _write_ on VMS ... Finally I tried & succeeded (w/o any changes) in putting a bootable copy of VMS V5.5-2 on the JAZ disk, and booting one of my "Vs2000-plus" (Vs2000 with patched EPROM) from it. F$GETDVI("SYS$SYSDEVICE","maxblock") would return 2091050, and a SCSI INQUIRE command "iomega jaz 1GB H.7209/18/96". --- Enjoy, Wolfgang J.
