Is anyone running a versatec on a VAX750? We have a site that is trying to do it, but it doesn't work. There is a comment in the driver about some uncertainty about NPR timeouts, which might work differently on the smaller vax.

The boot configuration stuff finds the versatec at the correct address, and the "I reset the vectors" message also comes out, but any attempt to access the device gets EIO errors.

Address: 177510 Vector: 200 (reset to 174)

Any replies appreciated.

Thx,
