1079.0. "version release notes" by USHS05::KENWORTHY (Jim) Thu Sep 02 1993 15:23

    I am trying to find out where I can obtain a copy (over the easynet) of
    the release notes for version 1.0, 1.0b and 1.1 of the firmware for a
    DEFZA.

I hear that she might be out for an extended amount of time, so it would be best
to contact her sooner or later.  The developement organization does not have 
the files in question.

1079.2Decoding of DEFZA register dumpNUTT::DANIELFri Sep 10 1993 22:0672
    Does anyone have the register definitions for the DEFZA?
    
    One of the problems being researched for the customer is a register
    dump when the FDDI ring hangs.
    
    The register dump is as follows:
    
    ID				x000A
    RESET COUNT			x0000
    TIME STAMP HI		x00000005
    TIME STAMP LO		x06A0
    WRITE COUNT			x0020
    INT REASON			x0007
    EXT REASON			x8000

    There are two problems being seen at this site. The first is DEFZA's go
    into receiver overrun. These systems have to be reset to clear the
    problem. The second appears as first a adapter fault, then a register
    dump, port halt and then ring init.
    
    The customer has seen this problem 3 times since july 19th.
    
    We either need to have the above register dump decoded or a pointer to
    the manual that will allow us to decode them ourselves.
    
    Thanks for any help,
