console cassette interface
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm tu
|
|
interface provides access to the
|
|
.Tn VAX
|
|
11/750
|
|
.Tn TU58
|
|
console cassette drive.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The interface supports only block
|
|
.Tn I/O
|
|
to the
|
|
.Tn TU58
|
|
cassettes.
|
|
The devices are normally manipulated with the
|
|
.Xr dd 1
|
|
program.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The device driver is automatically included when a
|
|
system is configured to run on an 11/750.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn TU58
|
|
on an 11/750 uses the Radial Serial Protocol
|
|
.Pq Tn RSP
|
|
to communicate with the cpu over a serial line. This
|
|
protocol is inherently unreliable as it has no flow
|
|
control measures built in.

.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
.It tu%d: lost recv interrupt.
|
|
.br
|
|
A timer watching the controller detected no interrupt for
|
|
an extended period while an operation was outstanding.
|
|
This usually indicates that one or more receiver interrupts
|
|
were lost and the transfer is restarted.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.1 .
|
|
.br
|
|
A new driver showed up in NetBSD 1.1A.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn VAX Ns \-11/750
|
|
console interface is unuseable
|
|
while the system is multi-user; it should be used only with
|
|
the system running single-user and, even then, with caution.
