PKA0 OFFLINE: ROM checksum read error
When I starts an OpenVMS installation CD
on SCSI cdrom connected to SCSI card Symbios
Logic sym53c875 with ROM Tekram Rev170 S=C100 390U/F
(detected by OpenVMS as Intraserver PKW 2.1.22)
After OpenVMS Alpha Operating system title I see
SCSI Chips is Sym53C875, operating mode is SE ULTRA SCSI

Re: PKA0 OFFLINE: ROM checksum read error
when you try to use a generic IntraServer
card instead of the official VMS-supported
(more expensive) IntraServer card.
I believe (assume?) that this is how
IntraServer gets paid for their development
work on the VMS device driver. (There was a
copyright notice somewhere, too, wasn't
there?)

Re: PKA0 OFFLINE: ROM checksum read error
Is there any way to start OpenVMS with such hardware?
Or is there a chance to get proper ROM for this card?
Another question. I tried AHA2940uw controller (it seems without ROM). It recognised by SRM,
SCSI CDROM but cant boot anything.

Adapter AHA is recognized by SRM, SCSI CDROM is detected. when started by boot dka400, CDROM devices just spinning up and system freezes.

Re: PKA0 OFFLINE: ROM checksum read error
This is one of the few cases I'm aware of in OpenVMS where a driver or other component is effectively locked to a specific device.
Short of writing a driver or cracking the existing driver code or munging the firmware (most of which are not fodder for discussion here, and none are approaches I would recommend), or paying HP (or the IntraServer folks?) for a custom driver, no, the OpenVMS driver won't chat with this device. Or use this card for a platform that has the drivers needed for it, and swap in the expected version of this model of SCSI card, or swap in a card supported by another SCSI port driver.

Re: PKA0 OFFLINE: ROM checksum read error
Keep going. Depending on your system type
(and probably other variables), you might
have better luck when you get to a Qlogic
card which looks like a KZPBA-CA/CX.
