This is for the oldtimers, From our universities surplus I dug up two IBM Cluster adapters, new in box, and a copy of a what seems to be the software that comes with it. There was no manual other than a leaflet with hardware installation instructions. From the batchfiles on the diskette I figured out how to do a minimal installation, and after a while I got a program running called IT, that stands for Information Transfer and works as a kind of premature FTP. So far I am happy. But .. There is another program on the diskette called DC (Disk Configuration) that lets me configure a PUBLIC an several PRIVATE disk. This suggests that there is a kind of disksharing possible. Because of the lack of a manual I have no idea how to use this. Another clue is a program on the disk called VM. When I start this I get the error message "PUBLIC/PRIVATE diskdriver not loaded." My two questions: Is there anybody who can help me to the (information in the ) manual. Anybody who knows what software I have to use to get disksharing running. Understand me well, I do not intend to use it in the university again, but a friend of mine works (volontairily) for a poor organisation with surplus computers that could use a kind of disksharing very well.
