- Hi:
-
- I am in the process of writing a program to access memory on the EISA bus
- on the HP9000 Series 720 running HP-UX 8.07. I have the E/ISA Adapter
- installed in the system. The device I am trying to install is called
- SCRAMNet. It is an Optical Shared Memory Networking Porduct. It has
- on-board memory that can range from 128K to 2M bytes. This is Shared Memory.
-
- The task I am trying to accomplish is to access this hardware that has memory
- on the E/ISA bus. The only way I have found to get to this memory in the
- above environment is through "shmat" and "shmget" operations. This requires a
- driver.
-
- My question to all interested party is whether I am on the right track? Or
- is there another way to get to the SCRAMNet Memory. Any help or suggestions
- are welcomed.
-
- Please email your responses. I will post results if people request. Thanking
- you in advance.
-
- Cheers...
