MIPS: Meaningless Index of Processor Speed.  Someone here wants to get a
Sparc-10 Model 30, and gets all hyped up about the 86 MIPS figure that some
greasy salesman quoted him.  I patiently explain to him that his application
performance will be more realistically modelled by SPECint92: 44, or around
twice the performance of a Sparc-2.

Thank you to the SPEC people for devising a benchmark which reflects real
performance.  Thank you to Sun for breaking the SPEC figures out in product
announcements.  No thank you to greasy salesmen (not Sun in this case - an
electronic CAD tools supplier who also packages Sun equipment) for quoting
MIPS to the uninformed.

  I don't know about "locally", but DEC's officially-stated Alphs OSF/1 
  release timeframe is March/April this year.  E.g., apx. the same time
  as SUN's machine-to-end-all-machines (according to some folks in this

  Yes, there has been a tremendous amount of agitation about DEC's virtual

  confirm it.

Hello,

	I have recently been given an older Computervison CAD Station. I am told that it is actually a SUN 3/260 or 3/280 (its a floor standing unit about
3 1/2 feet high and 1-1 1/2 feet wide). At present it is diskless, as it
was running NFS from another SUN 3. I would like to add a tape drive and disks
to bring it up as a stand-alone unit. This is what I know about it:

	1. It has a standard SUN type 5 keyboard, mouse, and a Conrac monitor
	2. The CPU is a 68020/68881 @ 25Mhz
	3. It has a SCSI card, and all the cables (both DC power and SCSI
	   siganl cables are available inside the cabinet
	4. It has 2 X 8 Meg memory cards, on is strapped at 0 and the other 
	   is strapped at 1.
	5. As far as anyone can remember, it was working when shut down.
	6. We have the original SunOS tapes (4.0.3) along with a couple of
	   patch tapes.

	The internal SCSI cable has the connectors marked off for TAPE DRIVE,
HARD DISK 0, and HARD DISK 1. My questions are:

	1. As a tape drive can I use an Archive 2150S? If so, at what SCSI ID
	   I set it at?
	2. I only have Micropolis 1375 Drives around. They are 140MB formatted.
	   I can place 2 of them in the cabinet. Are they large enough for
 	   SunOS, and if so, what SCSI IDs should I set them to? I realize 
           that larger drives are always better, but i have to make do with
 	   what I have for now.

	The reason for doing this is to give me achance to learn Unix. If
there are any reasons why this is not possible, or there are any other considerations please let me know either through e_mail or by posting here.
Thank you for your time.

The issue of heat output has been mentiioned.
Has anyone had experience with installing a several hundred mb drive
in one of these machines?
I'm looking at the Fujitsu 525mb unit. This appears to be a good
alternative based on capacity, size and price. Performance is good

Hi,

I posted some day ago about my problems with my harddisk, thanks
to those who answered.. unfortunatly I haven't gotten it to work yet.
Does any one know if there are some problems with Micropolis 1375 and
sun machines?  When I format it, everything works ok until it tries
to write the defect list and the backup label. Then I get this...

Block 140280  (501/0/0), Fatal non-media error (illegal request)
Warning: error saving defect list.

Seems like the controller cant talk with the drive, or what?

I really need to get this to work.. I try reducing the amount of
sectors.. it doesn't help. I switch machines.. it doesn't help.
So far I have tried on both 3/80 and 3/60.

Thanks for any help.

From the  announcement that appeared in SunFLASH v47 #32 last November:

Memory "is 60ns and is a new faster SIMM"

"There are 6 SIMM slots on both the SPARCclassic and SPARCstation LX
that can be filled with 4-MB or 16-MB SIMMS. These SIMMS must be added in
pairs. The 16-MB base systems use 4 SIMM slots."

".. both have a 64-bit memory bus that requires two 32-bit SIMMs to be
addressed at the same time"

     Hi, I'm pretty new to Sun hardware so bare with me if i make some
really silly comments or questions.
     Basically, this is what I'm curious about. We currently have a 
Sun3/160 (believe thats the model) running here on campus. Its basically
just used by students, so any upgrades or additions to it is our 
responsiblity. A few of us have decided to pool our money together and
purchase another Sun to help lighten the load. Money is pretty scarce
so I posted and so far the best offer is for a Sun3/80 motherboard with
16M RAM.
     Now for the questions. What else do I need to hook it up to the
other machine? I'm taking bare minimums here and any one know an approximate
cost to do this? All that I can think of that we need is a case, powersupply,
and cables. We have plenty of diskspace on the other machine, so really just
need this one for the CPU. Is that really all we need? someone mentioned that
we'd also need an I/O board, but they werent certain of this. If we do,
how much would one cost?
    Guess thats about it. E
mail me any comments/criticisms/info or whatever,
Thanks.

If the file is small enough that the whole thing fits in memory,
we may just do a better job of caching than the Sun system.
Sun improved their performance for some of this stuff in 4.1.X.

We may also be doing a better job of keeping the file contiguous
on disks (or the filesystem may have been less fragmented in the
first place) leading to shorter seeks.

That is, I really don't think that we are hitting the disk for
every request.

Hi,

I had a CD-ROM (SunCD) die on me today... :-(  Between swapping
disks, the drive all of a sudden decided to not accept disks any more.
I could push the caddy in most of the way, but it would not 
click into place.  Rather, the drive just pushed it back out again.

The problem is probably with the drive, as another CD-ROM drive
functioned perfectly when substituted for the bad drive.

Anyone had a similar problem?  I predict the solution will be a
service call, which I would like to avoid.

I mean that when a piece of kernel code is loaded, it stays in memory

Perhaps the speaker *meant* to say that they could be *unloaded*....

SunOS 4.x doesn't, as I remember, officially support loadable SCSA
target drivers.  5.x, I think, does.  *That* may be what the apparently
rather confused speaker was trying to say....

>I figured if I was the only one in a room

Nope; you were, it seems, the only non-confused person in a room of 150
extremely confused people.  4.x's kernel is *not* pageable, and anybody
who claims it is simply doesn't know what they're talking about.

that the machine has plenty 'O swap and memory (64Mb+), and that the application
is a 2D CAD program (actually would be a GIS), with an even mixture of
computation and I/O. 

How many concurrent sessions could be supported, giving each one "acceptable"

With or without a system console as one of the X sessions?

Any relayed experiences/anecdotes would be much appreciated.

A single attachment station (SAS) is attached to an FDDI workgroup 
concentrator while a dual attachment station (DAS) is part of the actual
FDDI ring.  A workgroup concentrator allows you to connect multiple SASs
to it.  Then if one or more SAS stations go off-line the ring is not
affected.  A DAS is attached to both the A and B FDDI rings.  The unit *must*
be on all the time or else the DAS interface needs to have an optical bypass
that allows the FDDI signal to passively go through the interface.  If not,
then you have a failure and the stations on either side of this unit will
wrap the ring.  We are putting together a small (7 server & 1 router) FDDI
network and will use a SynOptics 3000 concentrator with FDDI cards in it to
make a workgroup concentrator an not really have a FDDI ring at all.

A good book on FDDI is "FDDI:  An Introduction" by Wendy H. Michael, William
J. Cronin Jr., and Karl F. Pieper.  Published by Digital Press, it will only
set you back $18.  200 pages long and pretty easy reading.

I've never had any of the problems mentioned in that post with the 4

modem and the sparc.  Just lucky I guess.
