That is the correct address for the first MSCP controller.
The first TMSCP controller should be at 774500.
The second MSCP controller as well as the second TMSCP controller is in
floating space.
For a machine with one ethernet, two MSCP and two TMSCP, the values are:
DEUNA 174510 (Fixed CSR)
UDA50 172150 (Fixed CSR)
UDA50 160334
TU81 174500 (Fixed CSR)
TU81 160444
For a machine with one ethernet, one MSCP and two TMSCP, the values are:
DEUNA 174510 (Fixed CSR)
UDA50 172150 (Fixed CSR)
TU81 174500 (Fixed CSR)
TU81 160404
Note how the second TMSCP drive moved to another address.
Since the TMSCP drive are last on the system, the configuration for two
MSCP and one TMSCP are the same as for two MSCP and two TMSCP, except you
just skip the seconds TMSCP.
But all this is just if you want DEC software to automatically detect the
controller. Otherwise you're free to use any addresses you feel like.
And NetBSD don't implement the DEC scheme to automatically detect
hardware.
