Commands

>CLEAR-DEVICE

This command will perform a bus reset on the selected SCSI bus. Can be used in "hang" situations.

>DECODE <Item>

This command can decode some SCSI items.

>DUMP-SENSE-DATA

>LIST-DEVICES

This command will list all SCSI host adaptors in ND-100 an the connected devices along with some important device information.

>PRINT-TAPE-STATISTICS

>RUN-ADAPTOR-TESTS <Test list>

>RUN-DEVICE-TESTS <Test list>

>SELECT-DEVICE <Adaptor name> <Id number>

This command select the SCSI host adaptor and SCSI device to operate on. The commands "RUN-ADAPTOR-TESTS" and "RUN-DEVICE-TESTS" will use this selected device.

Legal answers for adaptor are:

• Adaptor name (ADAPTOR-n, n=1:4).
• Adaptor number (1:4).
• Logical device number for adaptors data field (2202B:2205B).
• Hardware device number for adaptor (144300B, 144400B, 144500B, 144600B).

Legal answers for ID numbers are 0:7. ID number 7 is normally the SCSI host adaptor, and ID 0 is normally equivalent to "DISC-SCSI-1" which is the boot disk.

>SET-BUFFER-LIMITS

The operator may set first and last memory page for the DMA buffer (only used when the host adaptor is placed in MULTIPORT-4).

>SET-PARAMETERS <Loop mode> (<Loop count>) <Abort mode> (<Abort count>) <Supress mode>

This command will set parameters for execution of the commands "RUN-ADAPTOR-TESTS" and "RUN-DEVICE-TESTS".

>SET-TAPE-PARAMETERS

Change the default parameters for the write/read magtape test (test number 20) and the write/read streamer test (test number 30). (Only available when a sequential device is selected).

>TAPE-SERVICES

This command performs some useful magtape/streamer services (LOAD, UNLOAD and REWIND).(Only available when a sequential device is selected).

>PROGRAM-STATUS (TPE command)

This will include the values of some flags in the program.
