984.0. "Win NT as serviced system??" by 42708::YATESM (Soft, Strong, and very very long...) Mon Sep 18 1995 08:27

    Dear all,
    
    Has anyone had any experience connecting any Windows NT systems to PCM?
    I have a customer who is heavily commiting to NT on Alpha and they want
    to get the Event messages from NT out to the serial line and onto
    PCM... Has anyone tried (and had any success at) this??
    
    Cheers,
    
    Mark

	Mark, The problem is that NT doesn't have a serial console as such. What you are going to need to do is write an application that does one of two things :- When ever an event occurs in the NT event log, it gets sent to the serial line. Get some money for PSW on NT, where they have a prototype that does this already. You could try investigating RSM a bit further, where a controller board is placed in the NT box, but this is EISA systems only. This is actually going to get replaced by a better product later this calendar which will have boards for other types of systems. Wait for PEM! Now, one other option is that for the Bank of Ireland, then ported the PCM API onto Windows so when an application event occurred, the event got sent to PCM. You may be able to get some money to do this for Windows NT. Hope that helps Shaun
