SYSGEN: DSH32-B AUTOCONFIGURE problem

The Question is:

We have an old VAX 3100 mod 10E with a DSH32-Bx 8 port
serial controller.  When we boot the SYSGEN AUTOCONFIGURE
ALL done at boot time does not find the device.

What is the SYSGEN command (device name) to configure this
device.


       Thanks

The Answer is:

the serial ports use YFDRIVER.  The synchronous port uses ZSDRVIER.

You may want to connect the serial devices as TXAx.

With this version of OpenVMS, I would have expected the hardware detection of
SYSGEN to find them.  There may be a hardware problem with the DSH32.
