AFAIK two power supplies are not a requirement for split bus operation.
They are a very good thing to have however; those power supplies have
been known to fail and it's nice to be able to swap out the bad supply
without having your management know there was a problem (unless you
choose to tell them).

Richard,
You are quite correct, the flaw was in my message. I did not
mean to imply that there was a requirement for dual power
supplies, in order to split the bus. To split the bus, you
need the BA356 manual, which IIRC shows how to flip
over a couple of connectors on the BA356 backplane; then
I believe the two SCSI connectors on the DWZZI?? will feed
each half-bus separately. I know I've done it, but this was
more than 10 years ago, so I don't trust my recollection.
I've never had a BA356 with only one power supply installed.
I have had a BA356 with only one power supply working,
and I never noticed that the other supply had died... doh...

I made it a practice to "walk the data center" every work day and just
look at things. VMS does not tell you about EVERY hardware problem and
I picked up a couple of failed power supplies that way. When I was
managing Silicon Graphics workstations back in the late 80s and early
90s, I made "fan rounds" every day. The fans in those boxes were not
what you'd call reliable!! I kept a couple of spare fans on hand. . . .

How about FORTRAN IV WITH WATFOR AND WATFIV by Cress / Dirksen /
Graham. I found it by searching Amazon.com. I also have it in my
basement someplace, but the www was easier.

typo error on the above, the sysuaf=ssl has the / in front
of it ... so that is not the issue

from the top of my head, logging with username/nocom as username does
not prevent the sylogin to be executed. is this documented somewhere ?

Pierre,
The /COMMAND switch is documented to "Controls the execution of your
default procedure when you log in" (per the HELP text). It says
nothing about the execution of the SYSTEM login procedure.
Allowing users to bypass the SYLOGIN at will would be a major security
hazard, as many sites use SYLOGIN to enforce supplemental security
provisions.

I'm using Firefox but...
I had to update JRE from 1.5.0-something
to the latest 1.6.0 (1.6.0_02-b06) to get the page
working.

Probably because 1.6 brought the authentication which seems required here.
We have a similar problem @work because there is still only 1.5.0 on OpenVMS
(and we have to enter authentication infos aka usernames/passwords twice)...
