SCSI controller NCR53C94

The VAX 4000 and MicroVAX 3100 have an NCR53C94 SCSI controller onboard for support of different types of SCSI devices including disks and tapes. Optionally a second controller can be added.

...

# Mapping to disk image
load virtual_scsi_disk pka_0 scsi_bus=pka scsi_id=0
set pka_0 container="<file-name>.vdisk"

# Mapping to physical disk
load virtual_scsi_disk pka_1 scsi_bus=pka scsi_id=1
set pka_1 container="/dev/sd<L>"

# Mapping to some SCSI device connected to the host
load physical_scsi_device pka_2 scsi_bus=pka scsi_id=2
set pka_2 container="/dev/sg<N>"

# Mapping to host CD-ROM or DVD-ROM
load virtual_scsi_cdrom pka_3 scsi_bus = pka scsi_id = 3
set pka_3 container = "/dev/cdrom<N>"
#set pka_3 container = "/dev/sr<N>"

# Mapping to *.ISO image
load virtual_scsi_cdrom pka_4 scsi_bus=pka scsi_id=4
set pka_4 container="<file-name>.iso"

# Mapping to tape drive
load physical_scsi_device pka_5 scsi_bus=pka scsi_id=5
set pka_5 container="/dev/sg<N>"

# Mapping to tape image
load virtual_scsi_tape pka_6 scsi_bus=pka scsi_id=6
set pka_6 container="<file-name>.vtape"

# Include this line to get access to "PKB" adapter

Serial Lines

CHARON-VAX supports the following serial lines controllers: CXA16, CXB16, CXY08, DHQ11, DHV11, DZV11, DZQ11, DL11, DLV11, DZ11, DHW42-AA, DHW42-BA and DHW42-CA.

...

OptionDescription
physical_serial_line

Mapping to host serial line, both physical and virtual. Use the following mapping for different types of host serial lines:

MappingDescription
/dev/tty<N> Virtual serial lines
/dev/ttyS<N>Onboard serial lines
/dev/ttyUSB<N>Modem or usb serial lines adapters
virtual_serial_line

Mapping to an IP port of CHARON-VAX.
This mapping makes it possible to connect to and disconnect from the CHARON-VAX console at any time.

...

It is possible to load several CXA16, CXB16, CXY08, DHQ11, DHV11, DZV11, DZQ11, DL11, DLV11 and DZ11 controllers (see the lines 12-16) by configuring specific addresses for them on the Qbus. Use the "CONFIGURE" utility available on the VAX console to determine the addresses. Please refer to specific HP documentation for further information.
