Two TM78s under 4.xBSD?

[Steve Campbell]

A few months ago I asked for help in getting our shared TM78/TU78 drives
to work under 4.1BSD.  I have not succeeded, but I have learned a lot.
I've been spending a lot of time in the MASSBUS and TM78 drivers (now
4.2BSD, which has the same problem).  Before I lose my vision (and mind?)
I want to re-phrase my original question.

Having 2 TM78's shared between 2 VAXen (750's) is [I think] just like each
VAX having 2 TM78's on its MASSBUS.  So the question is: does anyone out there
have 2 TM78's on the same MASSBUS?  If anyone running 4.?BSD does, I would
like to hear from them, whether the drives work or not.  Remember, the TM78
is the formatter, *not* the transport, so I'm looking for 2 formatters,
not one formatter with 2 transports.

Sooner or later I should have some useful results to post.
