I have two questions regarding the usage of a 19" color monitor
and an additional GX-adapter in a SPARCclassic.

We have a spare GX-adapter board and a 19" color monitor from a SS10.

Q1: Is it possible to connect this monitor directly to the classic with
    an 1152x900 resolution?

Q2: Can we use the GX-adapter from the SS10 instead of the built in video
    adaptor?

Thanks!

I'm a bit puzzled (only read wall street jnl so far).

The price is $4k "in qtys of 12+".  Does that mean the list price
is $4.5k or so?  What would the academic price be?  ($4k with 40% off
would be quite attractive at $2400).

I don't like the 15" color screen -- would have far preferred a bigger
mono screen.  I do nothing with colour :-(
Is there a 17+" mono option to replace the 15"?  (Is the ELC still
what it used to be?)

Is Solaris 2 now standard with all these systems?

        -ans.

Hi, I'm familiar with Suns (Sparc 4s and 3/xxxs) but I'm unfamiliar
with the newer stuff. I have around $10000 and the main thing I need
is versatility. The machine needs to be able to be a server or be a
single user processing center. From what I understand there are new
Sparc 10s, are there any other machines? I heard they were $40,000.
If so, out of my range...How about something in between a IPX (that
is the color one right?) and a SPARC 10? Color would be nice but isn't
a must...For now let's just start with the machine, later I need to 
know how many users it can handle?,how much SPARC cd-roms, hard-
drives and the like cost....

Thanks for any help and please email replies...

	*** Stuff Deleted ***


	This gets to an interesting question: what is the cost of a
*stand alone* system ? The information I have seen says that the price
comes with a single user RTU (right to use) and the machine DOES NOT
come loaded with an OS. This seems to imply that I have to buy a CD
ROM drive and a Solaris 2.1 CD ROM. How much does this cost?
Furthmore, from what I have seen, it isn't clear if I can load Solaris
2.1 onto the HD permanently. If this were the case, I guess I could
borrow the CD ROM drive and the Solaris CD ROM and install the system
once and for all. Does any one know the answer to this question ? Some
other questions that I haven't seen the answer to are :

1) What is the length of the warranty (sp?) on the Classic ?
	The blurbs I have say 1yr on the LX but say nothing about the
	Classic.

2) What SCSI devices are supported by Solaris 2.1? 
	Will a generic SCSI QIC tape drive work for backup purposes?
	Will a generic SCSI CD ROM drive work for initial OS booting?

3) How much slower is the screen for the Classic compared to the LX ?

4) How "good" is the 15" monitor ?
	On a related topic, it appears that the LX can display N x M
	"pixel" screeens where N and M can have several values while
	the Classic displays only 1024 x 768 @ 76Hz independent of the
	attached monitor. Did I read this right?

5) Finally, on a more cynical note, when does Solaris 2.1.1 show up?

Organization: University of Illinois at Urbana

We bought a 1 Gbyte disk /150 Mbyte Wangtek 1/4 inch tape combination
from Unison. The tape reads all tapes written by the other drives. But
often it cannot read tapes that it wrote. In that case, the tape it
positioning for about a minute, and that stops with the read error message. 
Often, the same tape cannot be overwritten beacuse of write errors. 

The tapes, by 3M, were sent to the manufacturer, who did not find any 
problem with them. 3M suggested to degauss them in case of trouble. We 
bought a degausse, and it really makes unwritable tapes writable again. 

We had 2 tape drives replaced, to no help. 
I am wondering what causes the problems. It seems that the drive 
magnetizes the tapes when writing to them. 
Any ideas? If possible, please respond to my E-mail address rather than 
to this newsgroup.

Well, before everyone starts jumping up and down, the $3995 price is quantity
12 ("because people will want to buy them by the dozen!"). Fewer than that they
are $4295. Both prices are *non-discountable*. That means, if you're an edu-
cational institute used to getting whopping discounts off Sun purchases, you
won't get it on this one.

The LX and 2000 *are* discountable, in the usual amounts.

What do you mean by "palmtop"? The CPU chassis looks the same size as the 
IPC/IPX, but the monitor is still quite large.

The SPARCclassic and SPARCstation LX are rated 59.1 MIPS, 26.4 SPECint92, and  
21.0 SPECfp92.

The 8-way configuration of the SPARCcenter 2000 is rated 8,047 SPECrate_int92  
and 10,600 SPECrate_fp92.

The 20-way configuration is rated at 2.19 GIPS and 269 MFLOPS.

I assume he's contemplating people building palmtops out of

Haven't seen the article, so my comments might be somewhat tainted.

Possibly the other explaination is an employee of another workstation
manufacturer wrote the article.  WSJ and most other magazines have a
staff of writers, and they allow freelance writers to contribute.  If
the isn't a huge bias, they probably would allow an article to go like
this (if it were written by a Sun Microsystems employee, they probably
wouldn't have printed it).

I wouldn't worry about 2% of market share, the volume is going up
quite exponentially, I think 2% is a bunch of machines, but part is
due in part to SS10's not being available, and new stuff for the new
chips making people want to wait and see what up next.

Our 4/690-120 running 4.1.2 plus all the obvious patches (Galaxy
Performance, IPI Jumbo, and so on) acting as an NFS server plus some
large amount of NFS (30-odd diskless ELCen) behaved worse (not no

Hi,
Our ethernet is getting more and more 'crowded' with other types of machines
(PC's Mac's etc). I would like to isolate the SUN machines from the other
ethernet traffic (create some sort of subnet just for the SUNs). 
I was wondering if there exists an 'inexpensive' ethernet bridge (router)
that is on an SBUS card. 
Does anyone have any info/experience with any such cards?

(The SUNs are all ss2's although we will be getting some ss10's soon).

Thanks alot!
