Subject: Using a VGA multi-sync monitor with a colour Sun3
Date: 24 Jul 92 12:29:39 GMT

Organization: Dept. Electrical Engineering, Edinburgh University, Scotland, UK.

We have an old Sun 3/60C whose colour monitor has collapsed. The cost of
repair or a new one seems very expensive, especially when compared to the
value of the workstation itself.

The price of 17" VGA monitors seem much more reasonable - can they be used
with a Sun3 colour workstation ?

We recently bought some shoebox SCSI disks to put on some Sun-3/50s, and
for the price we got, we didn't get a nice format.dat entry.  (Nor a
tech support department with a clue.)

We've put together a format.dat entry from the drive datasheet, but
we've got some questions:

1. How to you set the "cache" value?  Our drive has 128kB of cache.
I notice that other SCSI drives in format.dat have cache values of
0x07, 0x10, and 0x11.  What do these values mean?

2. How do you choose the number of alternate cylinders, tracks, and
sectors?

3. What is the significance of the fmt_time entry, other than determining
the estimated time to format?  Is it critical?

We're trying to format a Seagate ST3283N.  We've tried no asect, and
asect=1.  We've tried no cache value, and cache=0x07.

The symptom is that we can format it fine, and have no problem
dd'ing the miniroot onto rsd0b.  However, if we try to boot into
miniroot, vmunix loads, then immediately dies on a "PAGE MAP" problem.
This occurred on two different machines, one with rom 1.6 and one with
rom 2.6.

Any ideas?

With our other Solbournes, the average compatibility is better than the

Yes, they definitely are.  They plan on supporting 4.X for a LONG time also.
I think they are recommending waiting to Solaris 2.1 in general (especially

We would like to get a Wren 9 disk (2.1 gigabytes), and I was wondering

SunOS a while ago with formatting and using disks larger than 1 gig, but
I think 4.1.1b fixes most, if not all, of those problems. Is this true?
Does anyone have a format.dat for a Wren 9?

Artecon (1-800-USA-ARTE) makes an SBus expansion chassis. (Actually,
they make several.)  According to their latest catalog, the 3 Slot
Master/Save SMARTBox (which also holds 2 3.5" devices) is listing at
$1,995. The 6 Slot (w/o any room for 3.5" devices) also lists for
$1,995. Another $400 on either buys you onboard SCSI/Ethernet as well.

I've got one of their Seagate 429M disk kits in my SS1, and it runs
great.  Others I know like their stuff, too.  A bit costly, but
well-built.  I've had no experience w/the SBus stuff, however.

Just checked our lone 3/80 and you're right, it's DB15 only. I think micro-
transceivers run about $75? each these days. Make sure they really are small,
since the bigger ones have a tendency to a) get in the way of other cables
(the back of a 3/80 is pretty crowded), and b) fall off under their own
weight (gotta love those slidelocks). Be sure to disable SQE/heartbeat on them. 

Normally I'd recommend a larger transceiver with diagnostic LEDs (power, 
receive, transmit, collision, etc.) and using transceiver cables, but on a 
2-node network the potential trouble spots are pretty limited :-).

In total it should still be under $200.

The local bus officially is the one anounced by Intel for its
X86 motherboard. But in general we use the name to refer any bus
directly connected with the cpu chip. In other words, the
clock of the bus is the clock of the cpu chip, and the width
of the bus is the width of the cpu chip. This convention has
been used by other computer vendors, such as NEXT Inc.

My favorite benchmark is to run the Wisconsin DBMS benchmark on a public domain
DBMS system we've hacked for use internally.  This benchmark is a good test of
both CPU speed and I/0.  The SS2 is about 4% faster than the IPX on this
test.  Also, building the DBMS (a compilation of about 400 source files
containing 165K lines of code) takes 40 minutes on either machine (using Sun
ANSI C in a standalone configuration).

Another thing about the IPX is you get the "no penalty" upgrade to the
SS10 if you want, just like with the SS2.  We bought the IPX.

We are looking for assistance with SCSI errors we've been having.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

CONFIGURATION:

Sparc 1, 40M ram, 8 bit video, internal 424M seagate drive (sd0), 
external 1.4G seagate drive (sd1), exabyte tape drive (st0).
SunOS Release 4.1.2 (GENERIC) #2: Wed Oct 23 10:52:58 PDT 1991
Version 1.0 roms.

PROBLEMS:

2 problems with the SCSI bus.

First problem occurs on power up (all other devices already on),
about 25% of the time the first message that appears is
'SCSI hung - perhaps an external device is off', then it does its
testing then we get the > prompt (typing 'n' then 'reset' always
enables the maching to boot up).

The second problem occurs when trying to use the exabyte drive.  We
continuously get 'write error' at random places into the tape.

HISTORY:

We started with a diskless ss1 and upgraded it to become our server
(to 3 other diskless clients some macs and some pcs).  We added the
two drives and the exabyte, installed 4.1.2.  Then everything worked
fine for two months.  We were doing daily backups (weekend level 0) for
the last one of the two months without any problems.  Then without
changing anything (except copying over a very large - 400M - directory)
we started getting write errors and the following SCSI transport error.

Jul 19 03:16:59 evds-sparc vmunix: esp0: Current command timeout for Target 1 Lun 0
Jul 19 03:16:59 evds-sparc vmunix: esp0:        State=DATA_DONE (0xa), Last State=DATA (0x9)

Jul 19 03:16:59 evds-sparc vmunix: sd1:    SCSI transport failed: reason 'reset': retrying command
Jul 19 03:16:59 evds-sparc vmunix: sd0:    SCSI transport failed: reason 'reset': retrying command

ATTEMPED SOLUTIONS:

* All the external devices work on a Sparc 2 (several tests) running 4.1.2.

* Tried many different tapes (Exabyte and Sony) - same errors

* Got a replacement for the Exabyte - same errors

* Tried replacing the 424M internal drive - same errors (then returned drive)

* Swapped the mother board with another from a ss1 - same errors

Then we were told a ssp wasn't rated to power a 424M drive so we bought
an external shoebox.  That still did not fix the problem. We've had several
people look at it (including two authorized sun technicians) without success.

The system runs fine - all software works - but we can't do backups or tars
and we get the SCSI transport errors.

I recently installed a DEC DSP-3085 it's an 850MByte internal spinning
at 5400rpm's. It works fine now and it's fast, I get full 5Mbyte/s
transfer on the local SCSI-Bus. I had some initial trouble though as
the shipped firmware Rev wasn't up to date with Suns SCSI-protocol, a
new rev has taken care of it. I think IBM and HP have similar drives
that go up to 1GBbyte. Be careful to check out the power-dissipation,
the IPX case may get quite hot, especially when stacked with other
devices,

That's a pretty broad question.  What kind of information do you need?
What version of the OS are you running?  Do you feel comfortable with
the automatic scripts to install the driver in your kernel?  If so,
installation is pretty simple.  Or do you have a manual?

I've got a copy of the manual and installed one on our 4/470.  A word
of advice--rimfire uses their own format utilities, which are not
compatable with the "standard" sun SCSI busses.  If you try to move
a disk drive from the Rimfire to a different SCSI bus, you WILL have
to reformat the disk.  (for this reason I've moved off of our Rimfire
and have recommended to the administration that we never buy any of
their products again).

If you have specific questions, or even some more guidance about what
kind of info you are looking for, I'll be glad to help.

Why?  I've got a half dozen Suns running with SQE enabled on my net,
or at least I never did anything special to turn it off.  Besides,
several of them have a Cabletron transceiver that shows a yellow LED
if SQE is enabled and a flashes a red LED whenever the host transmits,
so I am _certain_ that SQE is enabled and working on these boxes at least.
I have never seen any network or host problem because of it.

Other than ancient Level 1 devices, the only network devices I know of
that cannot tolerate SQE are repeaters like the old DEC DELNI "network
in a box".  Besides, I thought that SQE was _required_ by IEEE 802.3.
Have I been missing something all these years?

     We recently purchased a Britelite IPC, but are having some
problem finding out what the pinout is for the DIN-8 serial ports.
Does anyone know this information, or where I could go to get it?

     Thanks.

Is there a 4mm DAT and software that will let me make tapes that
can be extracted on HP Systems That I can use with my SPARCStations?
Thanks ...
