Yes. The way the KFQSA works is it emulates one MSCP (or TMSCP) interface
for each device on the DSSI bus.
>Did you set up a new interface and do something to the addresses??
Yes. Using the CONFIGURE command that is built into the PROM, I identified
where the system would expect to find the devices. The result is that I
have the following devices in my Q/CD chassis (BA213):
Slot Board CSR IOV Notes
----- ---------- ------ --- ----------------
1 KA655 CPU
2 32MB RAM
3 32MB Ram
4 DELQA 174440 754
5 KFQSA 172150 770 (DUA0:, RF71 boot device)
160334 764 (DUB1:, RF72)
160340 760 (DUC2:, RF30)
6 DHV11 160500 310 (ttyS0 - ttyS1)
7 TQK70 174500 774 (MUA0:)

Ask away! I've been whacking on this all weekend to try to figure out where
it hurts :-). The kernel has been recompiled with an additional ra2
interface and with the dhu11 at csr 160500.
