We are trying to install an HP Laserjet Series II printer on our 3B2/1000,
running UNIX SysVR3.2.3.  Currently it only prints garbage, and we think
there may be a problem with our print interface file.  Could someone please
mail me a good working interface file for an HP Laserjet Series II printer.
Thanks for your support.

My 6300+ is crashing frequently with the message: 
	"Parity error on system board"
I would like to narrow this down a bit using the customer diagnostics
program ("CUSTOMER.EXE", version 1.11) that came with the computer.  
Unfortunately, "CUSTOMER.EXE", by default, only allows for one pass of any
given test and then requires user intervention.  I would like to run some
tests, say, 100 times without my being present.  An inspection of the 
strings in the binary shows that this is clearly possible, as well as 
error logging to disk and other detailed controls over types of tests 
performed.

Does any one know what flags/environment variables/etc... I need to set in 
order to get this finer level of control over the program?


Thanks,

I'm in the process of setting up a 5620 terminal on a 3B2-400
running SVR3.1.  I've loaded release 2.0 of the DMD Core Utilities.
/usr/dmd/bin is in my PATH.  When I enter ``layers'', the
screen on the 5620 goes all-green, then textured-green, then
I get this error message on the console:

TRAP
proc = 4022A150 psw = 1472B
pc = 400223C1
PANIC: KERNEL MMU FAULT (F_ACCESS)

SYSTEM FAILURE, etc.

I currently have MAXUP set at 25 in the kernel, and the documentation
says layers can generate more than 25 processes, but would this
cause the system to panic?  It's getting late, so tomorrow I'm
building a new kernel - still I'm enough of a conditioned pessimist
to expect this isn't the answer...   Also, when I look in the /dev/xt
directory, only devices 004 005 006 and 007 are owned by me.  The
others are still owned by root.  I can't find (F_ACCESS) in any of
my documentation.

BTW, all the demos run fine.  Anybody know what's going on here?

The reason that these terminals cannot keep up after two
screens is that the rinky-dink micro-processor in them has too much
house keeping to do when the memory fills up.  Very few of these early-80s
terminals driven by 8-bit ups can do it.  I think the 4425 has an 8085
in it.  That was one of the more popular ones back then.  They aren't
really capable of 9600 bits-per-second operation.

Phew, that's good to hear.  I moved recently, and never did

Right, I remember this.  3B2's with older versions of the CPLU

Cool!!!

Anybody do performance tests comparing the standard C

I've already experimented with the optimizers.  GCC seems
to do slightly better loop optimization than cc.

Hi,
	I looking for a set of 3.1.1 OS + Text + Developement + Starlan 
    Disks for a 3b2/600.  I just got it and would like to set it up as a 
    UUCP node, but need the developement pack to get it running.  If 
    anyone has a spare set of disk, (Docs would be nice but not needed), 
    I would be willing to buy them if the price is right. I have the 
    runtime set loaded (it looks like).

    Now, if I can't find a set of disks I will most likly try to sell the
    unit, so here is a break-down of what it has.

	3 - 8 Port serial cards (24 total + Console + Spare)
		NO RJ-45 to DB{9|25} cables.
	1 - Ether-net card (I belive a starlan???) Has AUI adaptor
	4 - 4 Meg memory cards. 1 using 256K chips, 3 using 1 Meg Chips.
	1 - Virtual Cache??? 
	1 - Extra Processor Card. (BUB Card) 
	2 - 150 Meg Hard Drives SCSI
	1 - 60 Meg tape. SCSI
	1 - Floppy Drive.

	NO-KEY for front lock.

    I don't know if the second harddrive is working or not as it is not 
    mounted when booted.

    If Have the disks or interested in buying (Will wait a few weeks before
    deciding) call Robert Morse:

	313-477-3900	(WORK)	 (This has nothing to do with my work

I recall having the exact same problem before.  Mike Ibarra told
me to re-install the Windowing Utilities that came with my OS,
and to make sure the 'layers' program that comes with the
Windowing Utilities is before the 'layers' in the DMD utilities
in the PATH.

Give that a try, and let me know how if it works.

I had this problem on a 3B2/600 with only 12 MB of RAM, and I make it
go away by increasing the size of my swap space.  If you have 26K
blocks of swap free, it's not likely that that is the problem, unless
your executables soak up 13MB when they do their thing.

I'm pretty sure that when I looked in the source that this was caused
by insufficient swap, rather than insufficient physical memory.  I
just looked in the source (if you have a SVR3.2.* source license look
in the file /usr/src/uts/3b2/os/region.c) and it will also offer this
message if it can't allocate more memory w/o causing potential
deadlock.

The only kicker here is that you have only 21MB of swap space, at
most.  I would have used more.

I would add some (5MB? 10MB? 602MB?) swap space (w/ swap -a) and see
if the frequency of these messages decreases.  Remember that (assuming
you have a spare disk partition) you can add (and delete!) swap space
on the fly under SVR>=3.

Good Luck.

A key step is missing, though not for the person that Jeff is trying
to help.  You MUST MUST MUST make lots of copies of yoru Essential
Utilities Disk #1, because it is a mountable filesystem that can and
does get corrupted very easily.  I once got stuck on a Saturday when
my last copy of the EUD#1 got trashed, and I had to wait until Monday
morning to get a spare -- bummer.

To do this, first run a filesystem check on the original floppy
to make sure it is valid:

	# fsck /dev/dsk/c0d0s5

Then, make a complete image copy of the disk:

	# dd if=/dev/rdsk/c0d0s6 of=/tmp/boot.disk bs=9k

Then write this out to an already-formatted disk:

	# dd of=/dev/rdsk/c0d0s6 if=/tmp/boot.disk bs=9k

Make yourself four or five copies, then put a write-protect tab
on all of them, including the original.  Then, as you actually
need to boot from one, take off the WP tab and do it.  The lack of
a WP tab will remind you that this disk might possibly be
corrupted and should be refreshed from the original master.  My
personal policy is to never ever ever take the write-protect tab
off the original disk and to always have a bunch of copies around.

	6 - 4 x RJ11 (serial?) + parallel port
	1 - 8 x RJ11
2 internal memory expansion boards

Works, previously used in CSU English Dept until surplused.

No terminals included (sorry)

Best offer plus UPS shipping ($15-20 or less?) gets it.  
I am motivated to sell, but I think the Hard drives alone are worth around
$300.  Will consider parting it out, if not sold soon as a whole.

I am amazed that you even get _any_ response from that machine.  It is
overloaded.  48 running processes divided into about 60 Mhz leaves you 
with about 1.25 Mhz per process. ( +- Finnegan`s constant )  Which means
that you should expect each process to run at about one fourth the speed
that it would by itself on the _original_ 4.77 Mhz IBM-PC.  If all 407 of
your processes were to wake up at the same time, you would be able to
drink a cup of coffee between each keystroke. 8^)
