That would be fine. (One possible problem: If Multia and AXPpci33 share same system type definition, is there anything in Multia kit that is not suited for AXPpci33? Apb.exe? AFAIK everything works.) >(What entry did you end up adding for FIRM_REV_MATRIX.DAT? > I can see about adding that to the source pool.) I added entry as it is on OpenVMS v7.2 Multia kit: ... SYS_TYPE = 11 ! NONAME type is being used for Multia CPU_TYPE = 4 !HWRPB_CPU_TYPE$K_LCA FIRM_ABS_MAJ = 4 FIRM_ABS_MIN = 5 FIRM_REC_MAJ = 4 FIRM_REC_MIN = 5 END_SYS_TYPE ... AFAIK that means version 4.5 or higher is accepted. SRM version X4.7-1860 works for VMS in AXPpci33. > I have no problems getting updates to the existing Multia kit together and > made available as an AXPpci133 kit on the website, other than my getting > the cycles to make the changes and debug. I thought problem might be to get "yes" from some big boss. But they already said yes to Multia kit... >(And the latter can be rather > interesting, as I do not have an AXPpci133 to test with...) I guess it's not the hardware cost (AXPpci33 is about US$80 in Finland). Hoff, I'd consider sending you one, but maybe there's some to find near you. :-) Regards, Osmo Kujala
