My mistake - its an alpha not an Itanium. I guess we have to wait until someone with access to the listings can have a look at the console driver

Re: OpenVMS Alpha V8.2 OPA0 - illegal function code with SET TERM

This is very confusing. It seems as if the problem is only post-upgrade from V7.3-1 to V7.3-2 to V8.2.

Booting from the V7.3-2 or V8.2 CD the SET TERM /DEV=VT400 works fine at the $$$ prompt.

It also works fine on a clean unpatched V8.2 system installed from the V8.2 CD as a fresh system disc.

The PWS500au has the latest known firmware (V7.2-1) and uses the Cypress chipset.

Details from console output in attached file.

Very strange. I also tried removing the X25 and WANDD products (don't use them any more on this machine) - and that made no difference.

Something is clearly confused about the OPA0 device capabilities, hence the "illegal function code".
