Awatmath.1381 net.unix-wizards utzoo!decvax!watmath!dmmartindale Tue Jan 5 23:10:52 1982 780 UBA/DH11 query Would someone who really knows the details please explain to me why DH11's don't work on the 780 UBA? I've heard this stated countless times, but have never seen a description of what doesn't work right any why. I was generally out of touch with the UNIX community at the time the 780 first came out, so I expect that there was a fair bit of discussion of this which I missed. I'm quite curious about this because this machine has been running two DEC-supplied DH11's on a 780 for six months with no apparent problems. (The other inhabitants of the unibus are one DZ11, one DUP11, and a DMA Versatec plotter interface.)
