On System I we are making a transition from TTL Main Boards to
LSI main Boards. When the LSI Main board was being designed back in
Early 1985, we decided to be clever and modify a few key addresses
on the board and hence in the OS ROM to foil would-be copiers. As
is typically the case this has hurt us more than any copier. Norm
and Greg spent several hours (wee hours) last night trying to get
OS/US -114, -115 to work in their TTL Main board. Of course, -114,-115
is designed for the LSI Main and does'nt work in the TTL Main. Gotcha.
That will teach them to be so thorough.
Here are the details on the OS/US ROMS. I will get this added to the
System I documentation on the VAX.
