596.0. "INVEXCEPTN at CMDRIVER+EC2" by CSC32::D_BROWN (Dave Brown CSC-VSG/INTDRV) Fri Feb 21 1997 15:33

    
    	VMS V5.5-2 / FTSS 1.2B
    	CMDRIVER.EXE link date&time = 11-DEC-1991
    
    	I'm working with an Air Force customer whose ft410 crashed with an
    INVEXCEPTN at CMDRIVER+EC2 after an error status for Expansion cabinet
    6 on zone A was printed to the console. The customer says that he has
    no such expansion cabinet or zone.
    
    	Is this a known problem which has a fix?
    
    	Thanks,

596.1Not a familiar symptom; suggestionsRICKS::OPPSun Feb 23 1997 12:1016
    	There are only two expansion cabinets possible, one for Zone A
    and one for Zone B.  CMDRIVER may be coded for the possibility of
    more, but they physically don't exist.  I do NOT recall any such 
    CMDRIVER-indicted bugs.  Offhand, I suspect either a hardware problem
    or a heretofore undiscovered programming error in CMDRIVER.  I sug-
    gest you contact MCS' VAXft Systems competency center in Europe for
    assistance in isolating the cause.  (Refer to note 595).  You may 
    also want to contact E-Systems, nee Raytheon, about any software they
    added to these systems, in particular anything related to monitoring
    environmental conditions.  (I'm assuming this is the secure communica-
    tions network that E-Systems developed for the U.S. Air Force using
    VAXft Systems Models 310 and 410.)  
    
    May the Schwartz be with you.

596.2Try FTSS V2.0-1 kitGREGOR::OPPTue Mar 04 1997 18:0013
    	FTSS V1.2B is not the latest version of FTSS & CMDRIVER.  While
    I don't recall any problems with CMDRIVER version "FTSS V1.2B", 
    revisions to FTSS and CMDRIVER were made for V2.0.  As a possible
    solution to evaluate, install FTSS V2.0-1 (FTSSU01020.A).  In the
    past, I would have referred you to RIGEL::FTSS$KITS *and* I could
    have checked the listings on RIGEL to determine what changes were
    intentionally made to CMDRIVER.  However, as noted elsewhere in 
    this conference, RIGEL is supposedly on it's way to a new home in
    Europe.  So, the best I can suggest is to get a copy of the V2.0-1
    kit and review the Release Notes.
