no problem man!

if you don't mind spending $2000, you can get the combined
RasterOps "SPARC Card TC/S" + "Video Expander II NTSC" from sunexpress
(actually just UNDER $2000, I believe. you must have an "S-Bus" slot)

call 1 800 use-sun-X


Sun also has a REALLY NIFTY overhead display thingamajig that you hook up
to your sparc.. it's like another frame buffer.. it displays a screen on
the wall or whatever.. but you can use a LASER POINTER with it, just like
a mouse!! (on the wall!)

I have not seen this in the sunexpress catalog, but it was demo'd here at
UC Santa Cruz a few months ago.

Here's the kick:  You're going to need to talk TCP/IP between them no
matter what you do.

If you can't get an IP number from the university network admin people
you're going to need to sset up an isolated subnet.  There are a few ways
you can go about this.  You can get a second ethernet board for the IPX,
this will be fast, but too expensive to be worth the effort (on top of
that, you'd have to make space in the IPX for the board, and I have no
idea if you have any free SBUS slots...).

Or you could do the same thing ver serial lines with SLIP, CSLIP or PPP.
This will work, the software for SPIL and PPP can be had free, but it will
be REALLY painfull to run that way, and will grind both machines into the
dirt with excess interrupt processing.

Your best bet is to be nice to the network admin people and talk them into
letting you put the SS1+ on the net normally.  There's no other really
acceptable way to do things.

How are you using them?  If you mount one as a PCFS filesystem, throughput
will be abysmal.  Tar can be much faster, but the speed varies widely according
to the blocking factor used.  mtoools seems speedy enough.

In-reply-to: aad@siemens.com's message of 14 Jan 93 21:58:42 GMT

I have a hi-res b+w monitor (Sun part # 540-1427-01) on a 4/110, which
makes a really nice system (given all that screen real estate).

However, I've noticed recently that the picture has shrunk
horizontally: there's roughly an extra inch of black on each side. All
the pixels are still there, and the vertical size is still right, but
it's compressed horizontally. When started cold, in fact, it's
compressed to only a couple of inches in width, and it takes it about
half an hour to grow to something more reasonable.

Question: is this likely to be a defective component, or something I
could adjust? The monitor was replaced by Sun under maintenance about
a year ago, so it's not very old, but the maintenance agreement isn't
in force anymore, so I can't just call them up and get another one.

Email suggestions greatly appreciated: I don't really have time to
follow this newsgroup.

This a quick question regarding swap space. I have a SPARC 1, with 8 meg RAM,
and certainly need more to give X Windows breathing space. I have about 22 meg
of swap space, and want to go to 16 Meg of RAM. Theoretically, I should only
need a bit more than 16 meg of swap space on disk. Question: Is 22 meg enough
swap space for a 16 meg RAM system? (I would rather not re-partition the disks
for more space unless I have to).

One other thing to note is that the Classic and LX have a faster path to
main memory than the SPARCstation 2 so they should be able to live with a
smaller cache. The Classic/LX use 60ns SIMMs and pull 64bits at a time
from two 32bit SIMMs which means that it accesses memory more than twice
as fast as an SS2 (80ns 32bit). From a talk at the UK Unix User Group/ Sun
UK User Group New Year conference (1993) I found out that the SPARCstation 2
takes 25 clock cycles to fetch from main memory when it has a chache
miss! The Classic with its Tsunami chipset (a much nicer name than MicroSPARC
IMHO) doesn't have such a large miss penalty.

Looking at the figures above I would say that the SPECfp92 benchmarks
are unlikely to fit in a 6kbyte cache so comparing the SS2 and Classic
by the SPECfp92 numbers should give you quite a good comparison.

Yep, they join DEC in doing this stupidity. They put the ethernet address in
the SYSID-prom. I, and many with me, expect each ethernetcard to have a 
unique address, in SUNs, PCs, Macs or whatever. At least DECs cards do
have addresses, which work if you don't start DECNET on the interface.

One reason to do this might be that software licenses are fixed to the 
machines ethernet-address, but making hardware kludges to support stupid
software is a bad thing IMO.

Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1993 03:37:37 GMT

Does anybody out there use an Artecon SBus Expansion Box on a SPARCstation 2?
It seems that I can't get that up and running!

My Configuration:
   HAMstation2X (SPARCstation 2 Clone), 3 SBus Slots
   SunOS 4.1.2
   Slot 1 was SPARCprinter Card, *should* contain the XBox's Adapter Card now
   Slot 2 is Prestoserve Card (inserted, but not in Use yet)
   Slot 3 is cgsix
   Artecon SB-6000X SBus Expansion Box (six Slots, no Drive Bay)
   I introduced the XBox Adapter Card into Slot 1 and connected it to the Box,
   put a Power Cord to the Box, no other Wiring

My Problem:
   When I try to reboot the System, it blinks the LEDs as usual until only
   Scroll Lock and Num Lock are lit. Normally, it should take some Seconds,
   then clear the LEDs and display the (white) Screen. With the XBox, nothing
   happens, the LEDs stay on and the Screen black.

My Struggle:
1. I tried to move the Adapter Card to Slot 2. No Effect.
2. I tried to change the XBox Jumpers (other SBus Clock Speed). No Effect.
   (The Manual states "Jumpers numbered this Way", my Board denotes Numbers
   just the other Way :-/ )
3. I removed the XBox, booted and installed the Software IN ADVANCE.
   No Effect.
4. I disconnected the Box from the Adapter Card and booted. It booted fine,
   but the 'fw' Software refused to configure an absent Box. (Note that, if
   I addressed Slot 1, it said "No SB in current Slot 1", while the others
   resulted in "No SB in Slot nn"!)

My Guesses:
1. Hardware Damage?
2. Either Artecon or Hamilton not complying to the SBus Standard?
3. Software got screwed up on first unsuccessful Attempt, now stuck?
4. XBox needs to be connected to SCSI Daisychain? (There are two SCSI Jacks
   on the XBox, but the Manuals don't say what to do with them, so I left
   them unused. Hell, nobody told me about SCSI Jacks, I don't even have
   the additional Cable!)

Organization: Johnson-Laird Inc., Portland, OR USA
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1993 05:31:49 GMT

Having upgraded from a 3/50 to a SPARCstation 10, I thought I'd try and
re-use one of the original shoeboxes with an Emulex MD21 controller
and a Maxtor 8760E 600 Mb hard drive in it. Until recently it was working just
dandy...yeah, I know, slow, but dandy nonetheless.

But then some bad sectors appeared, so I (foolishly) thought, I'd try and reformat
the drive (after backing it up).

Mistake #1.

The SunOS format program accepts the appropriate parameters (either from the
keyboard or in format.dat), but on starting the format, pauses for about
20 seconds and then coughs up an error message to the effect that it cannot
format sector 0.

The *REAL* problem is that now the disk's label has been clobbered, along with
the defect list.

Turns out that just about everything that involves writing on the disk doesn't
seem too happy. The non-destructive refresh test isn't. Non-destructive, that is.

Anyone had any luck with format and the hardware setup described above?
Please reply via email and I'll summarize (given I get enough replies to summarize :-) )

Thanks in advance,

I believe that the Classic/LX have 4k+2K caches, not 6K unified.

We ran into the same type of problem with the Sparc10's using
Artecon external SCSI bus equipment.  It turns out that the Sparc10
series is using a different type of SCSI termination.  You need
to contact your local sales rep and get him/her to give you
some terminators for the SS10 SCSI bus.  I think they are called
Forced Powered Terminators, or something like that.

You get what you ask for if you believe me.

does anyone know whether sparcserver 10s, as opposed to sparcstation 10s,
come with speakerboxes?  we seem to be getting conflicting information
from sun about this ...

thanks,

Subject: SBus DMA controllers other than the L64853?

Are there any SBus DMA controller chips other than the LSI Logic L64853
chip? I am interested in 32bit wide alternatives (the LSI chip has only
8 and 16 bit peripheral data paths). Any hints are appreciated!
