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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BOARD EPROM P/N ROM P/N QTY BUILT DESCRIPTION TTL -108,-109 -105,-106 4120 ORIGINAL RELEASE -208,-209 -205,-206 ~3000 FIX COIN ON 6502 RESET -308,-309 0 FIX BONUS COIN BUG -408,-409 0 FIX EEPROM COIN CNT UPDATE BUG LSI -114,-115 ?
