Operating System: RSX-11M V4.1E  Source Language: MACRO-11  Keywords:
System Management - RSX-11
 
Abstract: The purpose of the DEVICS task is to output the CSR
address, vector, device priority and other device status
information for each device in the system.  RSX-11M
currently does not have a simple method of gaining access to
this information.
 
This information is especially useful if a SysGen is to be
performed on the current hardware configuration.  Many times
the answer file from the previous SysGen was not saved, or a
list was not prepared containing the above information when
the hardware was installed.
 
Other information is given regarding the unit or device's
status as well as their individual characteristics.  Details
of where and how this information is obtained is described
in the I/O Drivers Reference Manual.
 
Notes: Operating System RSX-11M V4.1 is required.  Will work on other
versions,
but will not report new devics on releases better than V4.1E.
