  • AIX uncompressed backups?

    From Ryan Alswede@21:1/5 to All on Tue Dec 13 05:48:13 2022
    Does anyone have a running AIX 4.3 machine that could uncompressed these AIX backups?

    http://www.ibmfiles.com/pages/aixia64.htm

    Interested in the "...Ethernet Device Driver Sample Code..." as it's for the 9-P AIX network adaptor 91H0460 .

    Thanks,
    Ryan

    It's the content from the devices.ddk.netentdd package.
    Let me know if there's anything else you need.

    Thanks a million!

    Could you do these imaged AIX floppies as well?

    Looking at the /usr/include/sys/ header, the adapter's code name seems to be "San Remo", btw.

    Would you happen to know of source code? AIX 4.1.3 source code is on archive.org but I need AIX 4.1.5 - AIX 5.1

    http://www.mouritzen.dk/aix-doc/en_US/a_doc_lib/aixprggd/kernextc/ethernet_dd.htm

    **Beginning with AIX Version 4.1.5, the srent_open entry point is available for the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet TX MCA (8f62) device driver.

    Do you have access to Extended Documentation CD 4.3.3? There is a reference to srent.c or srent_open.c deep in a dat file. I can upload the iso if you don't already have it.

    On the original site can you also extract:
    educ.driver.samples
    devices.ddk.docs

    Thanks.

    Good luck:

    http://www.holzapfel.biz/aixprggd.zip
    (From the extended documentation, containing the .html and .dat files. It wasn't obvious to me how to deal with those seemingly machine code dat files, so I just zipped everything.)

    http://www.holzapfel.biz/devices.ddk.docs.tar.gz http://www.holzapfel.biz/educ.driver.samples.tar.gz

    Couldn't find anything useful there either.
    What are you looking for, specifically? The implementation of srent_open and srent_config?
    I know IDA Pro and Hex Ray's Decompiler have quite usable PowerPC support, but not sure about kernel mode binaries.

    I am looking for what makes the bridge chip ASIC-9060R tick. I have MCA POS registers from one San Remo card configured by AIX that I built an ADF file for the PS/2 back in 2003.

    The AMD vendor chipset drivers work with the sister Phoenix PCI card (9-P). Just a matter of finding out the bridge chip specifics from srend_open and recompiling the AMD NDIS vendor source code that' I've competed.

    Thanks,
    Ryan
