Folks,
I found a few technical reference manuals (KA820/KA825 and VAX 6200 and 6600 series) through google search, etc. I reviewed KA820/KA825 (VAX 82x0/83x0) tech docs and it does not use SRM firmware like KA780/KA865 processors. It uses VAXBI interface for I/O devices. I think that it can be implemented on SIMH emulator easily. I heard someone plans to implement VAX 82x0/83x0 for SIMH emulators (on track9 website) but it never happens. I reviewed KA62A (VAX 62x0) and KA66A (VAX 66x0) tech docs and noticed that VAX 66x0 supports up to 3.5G memory access by using 32-bit addressing mode. VAX 6000 series is multiprocessing system. It need SRM firmware to boot system. Does anyone have a copy of KA62A and KA66A firmware? Does anyone have any tech docs for VAXBI devices like DEBNA Ethernet, etc? I only found KDB50 user's guide docs that provides KDB50 programming through VAXBI registers. NetBSD/vax supports VAXBI devices. Thanks, Tim
