NAME
ldpcs - load comet microcode
SYNOPSIS
/etc/ldpcs [ -f ] [ -v ] pcsfile
DESCRIPTION
Ldpcs loads microcode from pcsfile into the VAX-11/750 patchable con‐
trol store. Normally, the system ID is checked to see that the system
is a 750 and that its base microcode revision level is appropriately
high; the -f option removes the checks. The -v option causes the mi‐
crocode version number to be printed after loading.
Ldpcs is conventionally invoked from /etc/rc to load the most recent
DEC microcode patches from /etc/pcs750.bin.
FILES
/dev/mem
/dev/mtpr
BUGS
Calling ldpcs is a good idea, but it is not mandatory; the system will
run without the patches.
