281.0. "VMS device mnemonics and what they are?" by JON::MORONEY (Madman) Mon Aug 04 1986 20:36

Where can I find a list of VMS devices, and what VMS calls them?  I can't find
such a list in any of the VMS manuals.  Something listed like:

DU	= MSCP disk
XQ	= DEQNA Ethernet controller
etc.

but including pseudodevices (mailboxes, etc.)  $ SHOW DEV on some systems has
me curious.

281.1	Page 14-11 of V4.4 "Writing a Device Driver"	HYDRA::ECKERT	Jerry Eckert	`Mon Aug 04 1986 23:13`	9
	Check the device name table which starts on page 14-11 of the "Writing a Device Driver for VAX/VMS" manual (vol 10C of the V4.4 manual set). For anyone with an older manual, chapter 14 is entitled 'Loading a Device Driver', and the table is in the middle of a discussion of SYSGEN and Autoconfigure. - Jerry

	The SYSGEN manual also contains a list of device names on page SGN-7 (V4.4 doc set). This list does not seem to include pseudo devices. tom_p

	I believe the Guide to Software Installation contains tables of the device names for various devices. KC
