Sorry, but I have to second Henry's statement.  It's not the 99% alcohol
that is the problem (though you should check with the manufacturer to be
sure that alcohol has no adverse solvent action on the items to be
cleaned - the solvent properties of alcohol and Freon TF are quite
different).  The problem lies in defining what is the other 1%.

Pharmaceutical rubbing alcohols and industrial solvent grade alcohols
frequently contain small amounts of oils, solids and other contaminants.
These impurities are tolerated because they do not impair the substance
FOR ITS INTENDED USE.

For cleaning delicate/sensitive mechanisms, these impurities MUST be
avoided.  Frequently, this gunk is worse than what you are trying to
remove and at best will only provide a nice adhesive surface to attract
more dirt and tape "oxide."  

For this job, you must either buy the exact fluid recommended by the
manufacturer or use a pure analytical reagent grade alcohol from a
chemical supply firm.

I should have been more precise...  SCSI -- the bus -- has always supported
any fancy-dan remapping that the drive designers felt like providing, since
what you see is the drive *after* remapping.  The question is, what do the
drive manufacturers feel like providing?  Often, the answer is "nothing much".
With SMD, typically the controllers expose the full goriness of the drive to
the software, and you can do whatever you feel like (e.g. fiddling with
the formatting to do slip-sectoring).  With SCSI, it's all hidden inside
the drive and your software sees only what the drive feels like providing.

Tetraflouro-whatever is dry cleaning fluid. The same stuff used by
clothing cleaners and stamp dealers. It's reasonably toxic, cleans
well, and evaporates very quickly. It's used in a lot of high-tech
cleaning sprays. 
   WE've heard a rumor that name-brand Exabyte cleaners are less
abrasive than regular video  cleaners.

Hey, while we're on the subject, does anyone know what the deal is on
the number of cleanings from an Exabyte-brand cleaner? Dartek sells a 
"3-10 cleanings" Exabyte brand cleaner. Our local supplier sells a
"3-time" cleaner and a "12-time" cleaner. What's the real scoop?

(these people only gave me their part numbers, not Exabyte's)

   Respectfully, this is not true. Methyl, ethyl, and isopropyl alcohols
do not leave any residue when they evaporate. If anything is remaining
after the alcohol has evaporated, then it is:
   1) water (alcohol absorbs water very quickly, even from the air)
   2) residue that was already on the device being cleaned, but was not
      wiped away properly.
   3) glue from the bonding of cotton on swabs or cleaning pad(s). 
      (don't use swabs that are glued...)

When you use alcohol, (or CFCs, for that matter) the evaporation is so
rapid that it is often difficult to completely remove the dirt and debris
on the first try.  Furthermore, the white color you see on your finger tips
when you use alcohol or CFCs is not a residue, rather it is the effect of
the solvent removing small amounts of skin moisture (fats, etc.).

I have been cleaning audio, video, and computer heads for 12 years quite
sucessfully with 99% alcohol. 

Sorry to pick nits, but the alcohol method works just fine.

Have you tried reformatting the disk ?  The reason I say this is because
we were experiencing some problems with a SPARCStation 1 on which
processes would periodically become corrupted.  Depending on which
process was affected, the system would need rebooting.

After having the memory and CPU board replaced, we tried moving the
workstation's local disk to another system and the problem travelled with
the disk.  Both workstation were setup as a dataless clients, i.e. the
local disk holds the root partition and the rest is swap space.  As I
said, we reformatted the disk and the problem has not been seen since.

On a similar theme, we were donated some Sun 3/160s and I forgot to
reformat the disk one on these.  This machine periodically generated
"Panic: Data Fault" errors until the internal disk was reformatted.

Both of the disks in question are ESDI disks with the EMULEX ESDI-SCSI
controller card, and both disks were over three years old.

	Has anyone purchased and used an Interphase V/SCSI-2 4220SN-S
Cougar board for a Sun 4/490 system?

	I have 6 2gig SCSI-2 (differential) drives that I want to hang
off my Sun 4/490s, but when I put them on the internal Sun SCSI bus, I
get occasional errors and SCSI bus resets.  Not to mention the fact that 
the Sun SCSI can't keep up with the 10 MB/sec transfer rate of the drives.

	The Cougar board is supposed to be my answer, it's a VME bus to
SCSI-2 adapter board that runs up to 10MB/sec.  I'd like to see if anyone 
has any opinions about them.

	I realize that the VME bus is going away, which is why I'm
buying SCSI disks, but at just under $3,000 a piece for these boards,
that's a pretty big investment towards VME.

	My other option is to upgrade the 4/490s to 4/690s which will
support the SCSI-2 drives properly, but we have no need for the
additional horsepower, we don't want to spend the money, and I've heard
that the 600 series is a temporary solution to bridge the gap between
the 400 and New-SPARC systems.  This means they probably wont be
supporting it long, and I'll just have to upgrade again in 2-3 years.

	Any opinions????

Both rates are advertised by companies offering these boards. But there are no

Sounds like you haven't ifconfig'ed the second interface to give it an

/etc/hosts, and put this name in /etc/hostname.ie1.  /etc/rc.local will

I'm not sure, but I think the GX comes in both configurations. I happened
to glance at the "Sun field handbook" (or something like that) this
afternoon and it had a few different Sbus GX configurations, with slightly
different Hz ratings (66 and 76 come to mind). The GX+ only had a 66Hz
configuration, but then I'm not sure how old this manual is.

Does anyone have a format.dat entry for a Seagate 1.2GB ST41200N?

Thanks

I know that the SPARCstations have the option of having a "sound board" or
not, cause our SLC's have them.

But I'm interested in a sound board for my 4/110.
anything I can get/do?

Need help!
A SUN 4/110 in our Lab refuses to boot up.  It kept giving us
the same message:

> b sd0           (or any disk with boot strap)
Boot: vmunix
Size: 909312Truncated file
boot failed

Do we have a hardware problem here? We can not boot from the tape either.
Is there anything we can do before sending it to the repair shop?
