6484.0. "VMS device Driver support" by HGOM11::HELENZHOU () Tue Mar 18 1997 01:15

    Dear Sir,
    
    There is a strategic VMS installed base who need more detail
    information about how to writing Device Driver with VMS AXP.
    But, I don't have the privilege to access VMS Notes file.
    
    Could you help to forward the follwing questions to the right
    person or department? Thanks ahead!
    
    1. The customer need the book "VMS for Alpha Platform: Internals and
       Data Structure". What's the order number?
    
    2. Where can find detail information about "CSR_MAPPING" Routine which
       is mentioned in VMS Document of "OpenVMS AXP Device Support:Develo-
       per's Guide"
    
    Thanks!
    Helen

	re .0 - "I don't have the privilege to access VMS Notes file" ... Use the unrestricted VAXAXP::VMSNOTES conference (press KP7 to add this entry to your notebook). Note 292.10 says where to get information on CSR_MAPPING. Note 9 is titled "VMS Documentation." -- Kenny House

	This is the storage notes conference, not the OpenVMS conference: VAXAXP::VMSNOTES is a better spot for OpenVMS questions. : There is a strategic VMS installed base who need more detail : information about how to writing Device Driver with VMS AXP. If this is a strategic OpenVMS Alpha site, I'd suspect there are better support channels than a notes conference... : But, I don't have the privilege to access VMS Notes file. Huh? VAXAXP::VMSNOTES is accessable -- I can only assume you are trying to access a restricted notes conference, or that you have an incorrect file specification... : Could you help to forward the follwing questions to the right : person or department? Thanks ahead! : : 1. The customer need the book "VMS for Alpha Platform: Internals and : Data Structure". What's the order number? This particular book is available from Digital Press. (DP is an imprint of Butterworth Heinemann.) Contact DP and request this book, or request a catalog, etc. US & Canada URL http://www.bh.com/bh/dp UK & Europe URL http://www.butterworth.heinemann.co.uk The folks at the local DIGITAL call center (1-800-DIGITAL; that's the US-centric telephone number) should also be able to get your customer copies of this book, too. : 2. Where can find detail information about "CSR_MAPPING" Routine which : is mentioned in VMS Document of "OpenVMS AXP Device Support:Develo- : per's Guide" If that book has "AXP" in the title, it's definitely outdated: please get the V7.1 OpenVMS documentation set -- there is new device driver documentation included in the V7.1 release. And if the customer is a strategic development site, consider getting them involved in ASAP (http://www.partner.digital.com/www-swdev/). Also get them a copy of the OpenVMS source listings CD-ROM set. (This CD-ROM set is available for purchase from the Software Supply Business -- SSB -- for various OpenVMS releases.) As for getting part numbers, the entire documentation set is available online for internal users -- though the internal copies should not be released to customers -- and the documentation set includes a "Guide to the Documentation Set" manual, which contains documentation manual names and part numbers, and documentation kit part numbers.
