They can't conflict, first one of certain devices is set, rest are

Well, I was referring to the rules about how to assign CSRs in the
floating space.
Assigning them in the floating space is what confuses me. ;)

What devices do you have in the machine.
Let me know, and I'll give you the addresses.


DLV11-J, DHV11, DELQA, MSCP SCSI controller

All of those should fit at the standard addresses I believe.

But yes, for those devices that have a fixed address for the first
one, the first one is easy. :-)
(DHVs do not have a fixed address.)
What threw me off was that the DHV11's address in the manual was 22-bit
and SYSGEN wanted 18-bit. ;)

Really? I was pretty sure SYSGEN actually asks for 16 bits... :-)


Whoops.   16 felt too small to me so I assumed 18. ;)

(By the way, congrats on getting the machine running.)
Thanks!   I got RSX-11M+ 4.6 on it and I'm doing a SYSGEN there now.   4.6
will be better than 4.3.
I'm fine with half a board less RAM so long as it WORKS.
Indeed.
And 4.6 is better than 4.3
Yup. I even copied the pre-made baseline image so I could get the
networking bits easily.   They're on DU2.

Good.

Yeah.   Assuming I can get it on to DU1...which is set as an RA81 for PLENTY of disk.
