NAME
crl
- VAX
8600 console
RL 02
interface
DESCRIPTION
This is a simple interface to the
DEC
RL 02
disk unit which is part of the console
subsystem on the
VAX
8600 and 8650.
Access is given to the entire
RL 02
disk; the pack format is the same
as that of
RL 02
disks on other controllers.
As on other
VAX
console media, transfers are done a word at a time
using privileged registers (i.e., slowly).
All
I/O
is raw; the seek addresses in raw transfers should be a multiple
of 512 bytes and a multiple of 512 bytes should be transferred,
as in other
``raw''
disk interfaces.
(Although the sector size is actually 256 bytes, the driver allows
operations only on 512-byte boundaries.)
