Systems Industries 9900 and Simacs

From:      Mike Muuss <mike at BRL-TGR.ARPA>

The 9400, 9800, and 9900 all have the error in the MBA byte count
register when operations abort.  This is due to the additional
buffering inside the SI formatter (so SI tells me).

A corrected 4.2 driver with documentation is availible via anonymous
FTP from BRL-TGR, file arch/si.tar and I'll mail it to any UUCP site
which does not have it yet.  Send me your path, or uucp dialing
directions.  This driver correctly operates in a mixed environment,
ie, DEC, Emulex, and/or SI, on the same system.

Best,
