AIX for N40 Patches
I managed to snag these before the darkness fell.

Snippets on AIX for N40 (extracts
from software announcement)
INSTALLING THESE PACKAGES
=========================
To install the ISDN package run 'smit install_latest',
press F4 and select the CD-ROM drive as the install device. Enter 'all'
in the 'SOFTWARE to install' field, and select 'yes' or 'no' as required
in the 'COMMIT software' field. Press [Return] twice to complete installation.
You will notice that the installp fix (bos.obj.tp00003) is automatically
installed BEFORE the ISDN package. This is normal.
To install the update packages the process is similar,
but the initial fast-path command will be 'smit install_subsystems'. The
device selection is the same, but in this case the 'SOFTWARE to install'
field will be pre-set with 'all', and the COMMIT flag will be turned off.
Press [Return] twice to complete installation of the fixes.
Note: The default filesystem size
of 4MB for /tmp will not be enough for a successful application of the
updates. At least 7.8MB must be free in /tmp. Use "smit chfs" to increase
the size of /tmp accordingly.
KNOWN PROBLEMS
==============
There is a problem with the one or more of the IBM originated
X11 fixes removing N40-specific entries from the GAI ODM database. The
symptoms are known to appear when attempting to run the OpenGL extension
to X11.
If after running the X-server with the GLX extension installed, attempts
to run OpenGL programs or demonstrations fail with a message like...
Window type not found!
X Error of failed request: GLXBadDrawable (invalid GLX
Drawable)
Major opcode of failed request: 143 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 11 (X_GLXSwapBuffers)
Serial number of failed request: 10
Current serial number in output stream: 10
...then you should check the GAI database by typing the following command:
ODMDIR=/usr/lib/objrepos odmget -q 'Adapter_Id = 76021760' GAI
Your screen should list four entries as follows (the order of the entries
is not important):
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ODMDIR=/usr/lib/objrepos odmget -q 'Adapter_Id = 76021760' GAI
GAI:
Adapter_Id = 76021760
Module_Key = "0x400"
Module_Path = "loadAncSoft"
GAI:
Adapter_Id = 76021760
Module_Key = "ddx"
Module_Path = "adapter9.r4/loadddx"
GAI:
Adapter_Id = 76021760
Module_Key = "rms"
Module_Path = "adapter9.r4/loadrms"
GAI:
Adapter_Id = 76021760
Module_Key = "0x350"
Module_Path = "3dm5/loadsoftm5"
#
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
You may find that the last entry is missing. To replace it, and correct
the problem with OpenGL, type the following exactly as shown, except that
<Ctrl-D> is typed as a single control key.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ODMDIR=/usr/lib/objrepos odmadd
GAI:
Adapter_Id = 76021760
Module_Key = "0x350"
Module_Path = "3dm5/loadsoftm5"
<Ctrl-D>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: You may have to type TWO Ctrl-D
characters to get the shell prompt back.
You will have to re-start the X-server before running any OpenGL programs.
If you start the X-server manually, the command line will be something
like:
xinit -- -x GLX -x abx -x mbx
Patches:
ADDRTS.C Program to add hardware flow
control to the modem
UPDATE bos.tp00003
This update changes installp and ckprereq to prevent the
loading of BOS updates that might affect the correct operation of the N40.
This update should be loaded before attempting to load any BOS updates.
This update will automatically be loaded before any other update or package
on this CD-ROM.
bos.tp00003
PACKAGE isdn.0295
This is the ISDN software package for the N40, current
as of February 2nd 1995. This is the only full package on this CD, the
other files being updates (fixes) for BOS, NCE and X11. (NOTE:
This patch is on hold pending release review)

UPDATE sfd.tpd0001
This is an update to the SCSI Diskette Driver package
on the AIX 3.2.5 for N40 Version A.2 CD. The update has been issued
to support the use of the 1.44Mb capacity external SCSI Diskette unit.

UPDATE x11rte.tpx0003
This package includes new versions of the N40-specific
X-Windows modules which work correctly with updated X servers from IBM
PTFs. These versions allow the installation of IBM PTFs without reintroducing
some known problems.
