Hello.
   The NeXT serial ports are not limited to 9600 baud. The NeXT serial
ports will run at 19200 baud and 38400 baud. The 040 can't maintain
38400 without hardware flow control. The situation is even worse on
an 030 because there is no flow control and the CPU speed is so much
slower. The 030 does at best 9600 baud.
   Not only are the serial ports slow, but doing high speed transfers
(>= 9600 baud) greatly degrades system performance.
   If these problems are causing you grief, you might be interested
in TTYDSP. TTYDSP is an inexpensive hardware/software product, which
uses the DSP to drive a high performance serial port, which has none
of the problems of the standard ones! If you'd like further information,
please contact me.

Hi netters!

Has anyone out there installed a Maxtor P0-12S (rev LB22) drive on a NeXT?  
(the machine is a 040 cube used as a server and running 2.1J). The drive was  
properly recognized, initialized, mounted and exported by the system...  
BUT... After copying the directories to the new destination using gnutar I  
used "diff -r" and discovered some files that did not match the original.  
Only very long files like a 12Mbyte .tar.Z file and soundfiles. The drive is  
properly terminated (by the way, removing the termination did not make any  
difference!) and I did tests with only that drive in the SCSI chain and also  
adding a CD-ROM drive in the middle. I also sdform'ed the drive with no  
apparent improvement.  

Any help appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Fernando

> NeXT uses old NCR 5390 chips for doing SCSI.

Actually, NeXT used those only in the earliest 030 cubes. All other NeXTs  
use the NCR 53C90A which is basically the same part as the Emulex ESP100A
SCSI protocol chip found in many SparcStations.

True.

chips or even machines with intelligent host adapaters built around the  
5390 (for example). 

Not necessarily. There is more to a SCSI subsystem than its protocol chip.   
The reason why benchmarks are used is so that men will have a more  
reliable basis for comparison than speculation. Most benchmarks are less  
than perfect, so benchmarking doesn't eliminate speculation; it only  
reduces it because one is still speculating about the acuracy of the  
benchmark. Speculation about benchmarks is doubly speculative.
As I've posted before, the way to do this is to get identical disks (or  
use the same one twice), devise a good benchmark and actually try it on  
the systems of interest. Benchmark systems, not datasheets! 

> The 5390 doesn't support SCSI2 and is limited in some other areas.

The 53C90A corrected several deficiencies of the 53C90 and also added
support for some (optional) SCSI-2 features. The 53C90A *does* support
SCSI-2 -- depending on how one uses it. Since these chips are
"low-level" protocol controllers, the implementation the majority of
the SCSI-2 protocol is the responsibility of the software driving the
part, not the part itself.

Agreed.

No, unless you run Mach10 on the 'bridge' Mac.  The Mac OS will not use both  
ports at the same time, nor will it route.  With Mach10 loaded, it'll route  
TCP-IP packets, but not appletalk ones.

I'm not familiar with the current PC appletalk stuff, it would not work with

I can give you no definite answer on this except that it's simple to do. If
they designed the support hardware to run at faster speeds, a CPU upgrade
can be as easy as a faster chip and a new clock crystal. This is a common
approach in the PC clone market place.

Probably not. When chips move from one version to the next they tend to change
the number of pins. The Next generation of the '040 will likely have more pins
to support larger data and or address busses. Unless Motorolla does something
like the 386SX, which is basically a 386 with a 286 pin out, you'll probably
not be able to do this.

As a side note, can anyone verify the rumors that Moto will skip development of
the '050 and jump to the '060? I was told a short while back that the '050 was
to be a stepping point on the way to the '060, but because of pressure from
Intel with the P5 (aka '586) they decided to go directly to the '060 to remain
more competative.

   This is definitely an RTFM.

   As root, run the Preferences App, find the item with two monitors
and click it.  The rest is pretty obvious, except that on dimension

   Read the manual that came with the dimension board.

Well, he lied. :) If you want to connect at a higher speed, contact the

 One way to do it is to drop in an ethernet board, then get  the Clarkson packet
drivers and their version of NCSA Telnet.  That will let you log in to a vt-100

I am a  bit annoyed that my  so-called 17" monochrome monitor seems to

Early 8500s don't work right with NeXTs.  The current version works

they upgraded it for us anyway and, once upgraded, all the problems

Epoch Systems have a product called Infinte Storage Servers.  The infinite  
storage server is a seperate NFS server that contains magnetic disks,  
opticl disks and tape drives.  Files are staged out to the longer term  
storage as their usage drops and eventually removed from the system on  
tape.  Inodes are preserved and files can be recalled by inserting the  
proper tape.  Prices start around $100K.

   Has anyone successfully hooked up a PC with an Ethernet board of some kind
   to a NeXTstation?

If you have a 386 or 486 you can do the same thing we did at home:
install 386bsd on your PC.

   Is there a cheap way to do this?

386bsd is free  (availible from various ftp-sites).

Not true. It's been available from CCube for some time now.

I have a monochrome monitor that has become very dim over the past few  
weeks.  This happened quite suddenly.  What are my options for repair?  If  
the tube has to be replaced, is that a part that can be obtained easily?

Note that this is not one of the old cube monitors.  I had those replaced  
long ago.

Back in January at NWE, I ordered 2 Hayes ISDN Extenders, those  
DSP-Phone-Dongle thingies that allow you to take your $10,000 computer and  
turn it into one hell of a programmable answering machine.  Well, last March,  
Hayes said that they wouldn't ship until 3.0 did.  Well, hayes shipped me my  
little boxes on Friday, so........
