I've just replaced my KA630 with a KA650. This is much nicer.
Unfortunately some things don't work. First, my TK50 is totally
unusable. I think that this is due to hardware and not NetBSD because I
can't boot off it. I also have a problem with my QDSS. It passes all
the power-up diagnostics and works fine until I use it heavily in X.
Then the QDSS driver reports bus errors during DMA.
So, does anybody have any suggestions/ideas? I don't care too much
about the TK50 (though it'd be nice), but I do care about the QDSS. Has
anybody else successfully used X with a QDSS and KA650? Is there some
simple modification that I need make to get things to work?
(Geez... couldn't DEC standardize Q-bus somewhat so that these things
don't happen?!)
