- Well, maybe it's time to do this again. It has been a while so here
- goes:
-
- Put the following line in your /usr/lib/uucp/Systems file.
-
- If calling at 9600 baud:
- adaptex Any ACU BAUD 18174886893 -\d\d\d-gin:-\d\d\d-gin:-\d\d\d-gin: suucp
-
- If calling at 2400 baud:
- adaptex Any ACU BAUD 18174886893 -BREAK\d\d\d-gin:-BREAK\d\d\d-gin:-\d\d\d-gin: suucp
-
- NOTE: The word BAUD can be replaced with either 9600, 2400, or 1200.
-
- You can request the following binary files via uucp.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 1540CPU.LIST.Z 1540DRV.LIST.Z 1540USR.MAN.Z 1540specs.Z 1542B.roms
- 1542B_jumpers 154xp334.zip 1740bios.Z 1740mcode.Z @0F1F.ADF.Z
- GETDEVS.EXE.Z GRDRIVE.EXE.Z GREAD.EXE.Z GWRITE.EXE.Z OS2DRVS.ZIP
- README.ADD SCSI.EXE.Z SCSICNTL.EXE.Z SCSICODE.EXE.Z SCSIHA.SYS.Z
- SETSCSI.EXE.Z disti.list inq.Z sco.patches.Z scsi_drv.Z
- scsiasc.doc.Z scsicntl.doc.Z sds3.desc.Z setscsi.doc.Z setscsi.pkg.Z
- update.pkg.Z xnx_scsi_drv.Z
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Use the following command to retrieve something:
-
- uucp adaptex!~/filename /usr/spool/uucppublic/filename
-
- Replace 'filename' with the appropriate name of the file that you want.
- To those who only want the mode sense fiddler, it is the SCSICNTL.EXE file.
- To get a detailed list and description of what all the files mean,
- request the "list" file.
