Dave,
The ECU utility is used to configure resources like IRQs, DMA channels,
Memory addresses and other configuration parameters on DEC EISA bus-based
systems, (to take some pain away from such stuff on other Unix
incarnations).
If you do NOT have an EISA bus on your DEC machine, ignore this diskette.
But if you
do I wonder how you got D*UNIX to boot correctly in the first place. Someone
may have set up your system before you got there.
FYI, it is run from the '>>>' prompt ( in the SRM console) using the
'runecu' command. It is in FAT file format and can be read by any Windows
based PC in File Manager or from DOS DIR commands. It can also be run from
ARC console for setting up Windows NT or OpenVMS on DEC machines. The
diskette will tell you which OS it is valid for.
Take a look at your hardware manual to read more about the ECU.
.Tushar.
