1957.0. "DEFQA shows as KZQSA to >>>SHOW QBUS" by 35093::CYPHER () Thu Feb 15 1996 09:12

    My customer purchased a DEFQA FDDI/Qbus card for their VAX4000-400.
    The console will not recognise the module as a DEFQA. The bus has
    a CXY08 at 760340(I believe) and a KZQSA at 761300. Adding the DEFQA
    at 761400 ends up displaying 2 KZQSA modules to the >>>SHOW QBUS command.
    It appears the DEFQA wants to be on a xxxx50 boundry, but there is no
    control over those digits from the onboard switchpack. The cpu module,
    L4002-CA, shows KA675-A V4.8  VMB2.12. Could this be the problem? We
    must use this module to access the cluster. Help...?

1957.1Leave a CSR 'gap'35093::CYPHERMon Feb 19 1996 05:528
    Well, I will answer my own question for the benefit of someone else
    out there who runs into this situation. Leave a 'gap' in the CSR
    addressing & the FQA device will work fine. It probably will not
    show up as any name at the console SHO QBUS output, but the address
    space will be there. In my case I left the KZQSA at 761300 & put the
    DEFQA at 761500. All was fine.
