ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO (patch) kit exists for YFDRIVER.EXE on OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2.
This kit addresses the following problems:
o An ASYNCWRTER bugcheck or timeout occurs on a VAX 3100-90 or
4000-100 system if DHW42/41 controllers are installed and one of
the controller ports is set to DMA. Strange behavior may also
occur if the terminal port is set to /MODEM.
NOTE: A DHW42/41 port can be set to DMA manually using the
DCL command 'SET TERMINAL/DMA' or by default if ASYNC
DECnet is enabled through NCP (Network Control Program)
and the command 'SET TERMINAL/PROTOCOL=DDCMP' is issued.
o If the system is running on a VAX 3100-90 or 4000-100 with a
Q-BUS installed and there is a CXA16 on the Q-BUS along with
either a DHW41 or a DHW42, only 8 lines of the CXA16 will be
configured.
o VAX 3100-90 and 4000-100 CPUs with a DHW41/DHW42 controller
installed may crash with an INVEXCEPTN PGFIPLHI bugcheck when
queue corruption occurs due to incorrect servicing of
DHW41/DHW42 interrupts.

product database and perform a query using either of the following
search strings: 'CSCPAT_1075' or 'VAXTTDR'.
ECO KIT ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS:
If after an evaluation you wish to obtain this kit, request it
electronically using the appropriate Advanced Electronic Services
(AES) Service Tool. If you are not familiar with how to request
kits electronically, open the DIA, WIS or DSNLINK database and
review the article entitled:
[AES] How To Electronically Request ECO Kits Using Service Tools
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
In order for the corrections in this kit to take effect, the system
must be rebooted. If the system is a member of a VAXcluster, the
entire cluster should be rebooted.

ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO (patch) kit exists for SYSLOA on VAX 6000/7000/10000 systems
running OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2 through V6.0. This kit addresses the
following problems:
For OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2 through V6.0:
o Normal system operation may be severely disrupted on VAX
7000/10000 systems because the cache error correction
routine does not properly correct cache single bit errors.
For OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2 ONLY:
o VAX 7000/10000 systems may crash due to rare occurrences of ECC
errors in the CPU module back-up cache. These errors will not
corrupt data and will be shown in the OpenVMS error log
'SYS$ERRORLOG:ERRLOG.SYS'.
o On VAX 6000 systems, the CONNECT command for the VME device
driver might cause the system to crash. SYSGEN requires the
INIT flag to be set in the ADP by SYSLOA before it can connect
the VME device driver. When this does not happen, the system
will crash.
o VAX 6000/7000 systems do not support IRQ6 interrupts.

IMAGE/PATCH DESCRIPTION:
NOTE: To obtain the checksum information (in hexadecimal) for an
image, use the undocumented/unsupported command:
$ CHECKSUM /IMAGE <image-name>
To obtain the checksum information (in decimal) for a
file that is not a native VMS image, use the commands:
$ CHECKSUM <file-name>
$ SHOW SYMBOL CHECKSUM$CHECKSUM
