Is there any solution out (reboot, F restart of DECWindows Motif)? Is there any patch out, or is it a hard-( ware error (adapter should be replaced)?   TIA and regards Rudolf Wingert   ------------------------------  % Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2000 13:38:19 -0300 ) From: fabio_compaq@ep-bc.petrobras.com.br  Subject: Vax on a chipL Message-ID: <OF29CA98B9.1AB2CDC0-ON032569BA.005B34B3@ep-bc.petrobras.com.br>   People  J Forgive me if I am wrong... if is possible to have a CHARON-VAX  emulator,	 why not a 2 PCI card with a chip to emulate a VAX / MicroVAX ?  < I thing the Amiga people used to have an idea like this ....   Regards    FC   ------------------------------  + Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2000 17:01:56 +0000 (   ) 3 From: Christopher Smith <chriss@Mufasa.pubserv.com>  Subject: Re: Vax on a chipJ Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.05.10012191658380.21680-100000@Mufasa.pubserv.com>  > On Tue, 19 Dec 2000 fabio_compaq@ep-bc.petrobras.com.br wrote:  L > Forgive me if I am wrong... if is possible to have a CHARON-VAX  emulator, > why not a 4 > PCI card with a chip to emulate a VAX / MicroVAX ?  G Well, it would probably require more than just that chip, but that's an H interesting idea -- I believe the cpus on at least some of the old vaxenI are socketed, so you could just have a card that would address a real VAX 4 cpu of some type and leave the user to dig one up ;)  3 Still, I think it would be prohibitively expensive.   I Aside from wow factor, what do you hope to accomplish, though, by putting  a VAX on a card?   Regards,   Chris   O =============================================================================== @ "My two cents"			(http://rootworks.com/twocentsworth.cgi?128562)= Christopher Smith(chriss@pubserv.com)			Prgramer^W Programmer  Prime Synergy of Champaign, IL. % ------------------------------------- I "Where a calculator on the ENIAC is equipped with 18,000 vacuum tubes and H weighs 30 tons, computers in the future may have only 1,000 vacuum tubes; and weigh only 1.5 tons." -- Popular Mechanics, March 1949  O -------------------------------------------------------------------------------    ------------------------------   End of INFO-VAX 2000.707 ************************
