218.0. "Memory Channel (a.k.a. Reflective Memory) on DMCC/Alpha/UNIX" by BBPBV1::WALLACE (john wallace @ bbp. +44 860 675093) Thu Apr 24 1997 17:04

    I have a recollection that on the recent DMCC/Takara training someone
    said that Digital's Memory Channel couldn't work on DMCC. Not just "not
    qualified", but "couldn't work".
    
    A sub-contractor of an OEM has got themselves into a situation where
    Memory Channel might help (they've been on the project for 6 months and
    have just discovered a problemette, final acceptance is due in June).
    
    Is it really the case that Memory Channel can't work with DMCC
    (specifically, K2) or am I mis-remembering?
    
    regards

    The memory channel will NOT work on DMCC system with the version of
    UNIX which is currently shipping.
    
    I don't think I am allowed to say any more than that :-)

    Ah, OK, it's software, not hardware. Should be easy to fix then,
    shouldn't it <g>
