  Well, I seriously considered mentioning the 9000/500 AND its vintage in my
  note:  that particular machine, with two processors, was the first UNIX box
  I purchased (my company's money and thus box, actually).  We used it for apx.
  two years but when I saw the handwriting on the wall - HP was obviously not
  going to continue with it - I sold it off and moved on to something else.

  The reason I decided NOT to mention it is that while yes, it was a MP system,
  I am not sure what that meant in that particular system: if one ran a user-
  level application, one could see the two processors "take turns" running it
  for a second at a time, e.g., it seemed that the mp mechanism was either 
  rather slow and/or the relative overhead was so high that relatively long
  time slices were used.  Much of that may have been due to the low throughput
  of the processors - each generally on a par with the VAX 730.  For its time,
  though, the 9000/500 was a very nice system.

I'm trying to install a Seagate ST11200N drive as the second
internal drive on a SS10/30.  First surprise: no format.dat entry!
I thought this drive was routinely shipped by Sun on the higher-end
SS10s?  Guess not.

Here'e the real problem: I get Sense Key:Illegal Request errors trying
to format the drive.  When I select the "other" drive type, it fails
trying to read abs block#156.  I formatted the drive, which passed and
verified.  However, attempts to write the label failed trying to
write abs block#0.

Any ideas?

I wholeheartedly agree with this.  I mean, what is Sun's problem?  No one
I know uses OpenLook or wants to.  The last several surveys I've seen
showed that Motif on Suns are more popular than OpenLook on Suns.
We use Motif.  Our lives would be so much easier if Sun got rid of olwn
and supported mwm.  At least Sun supports X11.  They have some nice
utilities such as Tooltalk but all in all, Sun's attempts to lead
the open systems marketplace has really been a failure.

SunOS 4.1.3 has nothing wrong with it.  Sun's implementation of
DNS nonstandard file locations are irritating but I'm willing to
live with them.

However, having all of their customers switch to System V Unix is ridiculous.
BSD Unix is popular and well supported.  Why would they want all of their
customers to switch overnight?  I support change and technological innovation.
However, going to AT&T Unix is not change for innovation as far as I can
tell.

Sun's strategy has really made me consider not buying any more Suns.  On
the other hand, I really like Dec's support of OSF/1.  Maybe I'll
only buy Alphas until Sun develops some real leadership and understanding
of the marketplace.

I am working on a loadable device driver under SunOS 4.1.2 on a Sun
4/260.  The board I am writing the driver for has a couple of control
registers and a large chunk of DRAM.  Once the control registers are
mapped into the driver, I am able to query the board as to the
physical address and size of the DRAM.  I use this information to then
map in the DRAM.  With the 4MB DRAM option, I am able to map the
entire DRAM with no problems using rmalloc() followed by mapin().
However, with the 16MB DRAM option, it seems that rmalloc() fails as
it returns 0 (Sun's device driver manual does not specify what
rmalloc() returns on failure, so I assume 0 means it failed), which
then causes mapin() to panic with "panic: Memory address alignment".
However, if I open /dev/vme32d32 and use mmap() to map the entire 16MB
DRAM, it succeeds.  How can I map in the entire DRAM from my driver?

The driver itself does not need to see the whole DRAM, only the top
1MB.  But I think I need to map the whole thing in so that a user
program can use mmap() to get at the DRAM.

Any help is much appreciated!

I have an application which I currently use an IPC for.  The IPC was
purchased as a diskless, headless unit, since it only had to be a

at the UofT says I can't get the IPC (or anything else for that

has more horsepower anyway) is available.  Problem is:  does the ELC
have an sbus slot in it?  The marketing blurbs they get don't specify.

On a related note:  I have been using the miniroot kernel and a small
memory resident file system on this project, but would prefer to
remove the extras from the miniroot kernel.  Where can I get ahold of
what I need to configure this kernel? (the standard distribution only
has what's needed for building a regular kernel, and hacking miniroot is
not the answer, though it does work)

Sun (and old SGI's apparently) expect 512byte sectors over SCSI while
CD-ROM standards and most CD-Rom drives return 2048.  Only Sony and
Toshiba make drives that have a switch to go into that mode.

I also bought a Texel.  The lone US engineer is overworked and said he
might be able to get a special rom sometime.

The only solution I know of is to get the Young Minds CD driver
software ($300 or $400 retail I think).  The main thing this does is
send a SCSI command to the drive to tell it to operate in 512byte
mode.

Hasn't anyone out there written something to do just that???
If anyone has another solution, please write....

I was also told that with Solaris 2.0, Sun will work with 2048 sector
drives allowing most or all drives to work.

The MIT R5 server can only drive one of any type of framebuffer -- it will
happily drive a cgthree and a cgsix, for example, but not two cgsixes.  What
you need is contrib/R5.Xsun.multi-screen.tar.Z from export.lcs.mit.edu or its

I picked up two for DM1,100 the other day.  One vibrates a tiny bit

On page 3-3 and 3-6 it says the Zone Partions are:

ZONE			I		II		III		IV

	Number of CE Blocks:		613
	Total # of Spare Sectors:	4900
	Format Capacity:		520.10

It says that 1429 is the "default" number of cylinders.  I'm not
sure what the other 5 cyliners are being used for.  I suppose
bad blocks, but it could be wasted. I'm only getting about 500
MegBytes but the book says I should be able to get 520.10. After
mkfs it comes to 438886 kbytes for the g partition; leaving 100
cyliners for root and swap.

I suppose that the format program is leaving all of the Zone stuff
to the SCSI controller.  I noticed that format has support for 
zones but I don't know if it's used on SCSI drives.

I tried using 70 sectors but had a problem with label, it 
couln't write the backup labels. But said it wasn't a media
error.  Anyone know how to get out the last 20 magabytes?

boots from tape. And it works with SunOS 4.0.3

But I have heard of connect/disconnect problems with mixing the old
SCSI equipment. Personally I don't use the 2150s on my Sun-2, it's not
worth it, I just stick with the 60meg tape.

This was discussed at length a while back...

The general consensus was that there was a hardware block to prevent the
transfer of the audio data in raw digital format in most CD-ROM drives.

The exceptions to the rule were those drives made/sold by Silicon Graphics, Inc.
who also ship all needed software to make use of this feature.

I have no connection to SGI other than I think they make neat toys...

Which of those features are missing from SVR4, upon which SunOS 5.x is
based, and which of those missing features haven't been added back into
SunOS 5.x?

(NOTE: do not answer this question by naively extrapolating from SVR3.)
