It's also possible that it uses STC protocol instead of Pertec, in which case
it will be much more difficult to interface it to a Sun. Where did the tape 
drive come from?

Exactly the symptoms we had here with our sun cd drive for at least three
times!  Disassembling the cd-rom drive (until you reach the drive

We were plagued by this when we got our first Sparc 2.  The problem
can have several causes, and Sun had a patch for some of them.  (One
differentiation is whether the CPU light stays on or goes out).
In our case, the problem was due to our Box Hill disk.  Box Hill
issued a firmware upgrade and the problem went away.  (Box Hill
not assure me that the disks will work fine on Sparc 10s.  Just like
they assured me with the Sparc 2.  Hmmmm)

I can get close to that though, right?  Like 660M is fine..

I have a Sun 4/260 with a Xylogics 450 controller running Fujitsu M2333
SMD drives.  I am running the cabling right off the Xylogics board and thus
should be able to run 4 drives.  I have three drives running fine but can't
seem to get the fourth formatted.

When I try to format it, format runs for about 10 minutes and then displays
the error message, "Warning - drive not set for slip-sectoring."  Format still
finishes the first pass but immediately runs into fatal errors on every 
sector beginning with the highest numbered one.

This drive is set up exactly like the other three.  These drives are
obviously used drives and therefore could have an internal problem.  However,
I have tried two different drives with identical results.

Has anyone seen this one?  Can anyone give me a brief description of what
slip-sectoring is?  


Thanks,

John

Subject: Re: SUN Processors speed
Date: 29 Sep 92 19:37:36 GMT

This question comes up quite a bit. Here's a stab at a definitive answer.

Here's a list of the clock speeds and processors of various suns. It's more
or less from memory. Anybody want to take a stab at the FPU's?

Sun 3's:

3/50: 15MHz 68020
3/60: 20MHz 68020
3/75,3/110,3/140,3/150,3/160,3/180: 16.67MHz 68020
3/80: 20MHz 68030
3/260,3/280: 25MHz 68020
3/460,3/480: 33MHz 68030

Sun 386i's:

386/150: 16 MHz 80386
386/250: 25 MHz 80386

Sun 4's:

4/110,4/150: 14.3MHz SPARC (Fujitsu)
4/260,4/280: 16.67MHz SPARC (Fujitsu)
4/330,4/360,4/370,4/380,4/390: 25MHz SPARC (LSI)
4/470,4/490: 33MHz SPARC (Ross)

Sun 4c's: (sparcstations)
4/60(SS1), 4/20(SLC): 20MHz SPARC (LSI)
4/65(SS1+), 4/40(IPC): 25MHz SPARC (LSI)
4/25(ELC): 33MHz SPARC (Ross)
4/75(SS2), 4/50(IPX): 40MHz SPARC (Ross)

Sun 4m's: (600 series, sparcstation 10s)
4/670, 4/690: 40MHz SPARC (Ross)
SS10/20: 33MHz SPARC (TI)
SS10/30: 36MHz SPARC (TI)
SS10/41,SS10/42: 40MHz SPARC (TI)
SS10/52,SS10/54: 45MHz SPARC (TI)

FPU's: Sun3's use 68881's or 68882's. 386i's supported optional
       80387's, I believe. Sun4's use various Weitek and TI FPUs.

       FPUs are optional for most Sun3's. Among SPARC-based machines, only 
       the 4/100 series can be configured sans FPU.

The CPU comes with 4mb which is the max, but you can add additional 4mb boards.

	OK, back again.  Now my 2/50 is playing mind games with me.  I
came into the room to discover the message "ie0: No carrier" on my
monitor.  I looked behind and noticed that the tranceiver's power light
was out.  First thought was, "well, the damn x-ceiver blew," so I shut
down and plugged it into something else - and the damn thing worked.
The power light came on.
	I then plugged it into another CPU and it was fine.  I pulled
the CPU board out and put in another one and it still didn't work, but
when I stuffed any of my CPU boards into the other chassis and powered
up the x-ceiver came up just fine.  So I took the boards out of the
first chassis and stuffed them into the other and all is well, but no
matter what I plug into the other chassis (case & PS) the x-ceiver will
not go.  I don't get it.
	Now, I just put a new power supply in both cases (one was dead
when I got it and the other died recently, which prompted me to get two
new ones...and they arrived today and I put a power supply into each
case).  Could a problem with the power supply cause everything else to
work fine yet allow no power to the AUI port?  This is just weird to me-
makes no sense at all.  Any enlightenment highly appreciated.

I have purchased a cable from CS Electronics which works fine in every way.
It has a 50-Pin Micro-D "mini-SCSI" on one end and a Centronics on the other
(SCSI-1) and I use the Micro-D end to plug into an IPC -no problem.
Its 3' long and cost < $50.

You are trying to do medium-fast real-time with Unix.
I'm afraid, but this is not going to work.

You can try by mapping the "P4" register of the framebuffer
into your application. But there is no guarantee that you will
hit the nail on it's head while it's passing under your
hammer ;-)

>Do any of you SUN experts out there know how to do this?

Yes. Buy a GX2 from Sun. This is the double-buffering
variant of the GX. It's an SBus card, so you will probably
need to trade in your 3/60 for a SPARC machine. You can
probably use the faster CPU anyway if you want to do animation.

I have been having *loads* of fun popping the breakers in my apartment with

I looked all over the cases and could not find any mention of power usage.

Seems you're a bit confused about this message. "Running asynchronously"
can mean that multiple drives are not running with locked spindles.
You only need this for parallel transfers from several disks, i.e.
a cheap RAID.

Any disk can be said to be running asynchronously if it does
disconnect/reconnect. There never was a message about this.

The message you are probably referring to is
	esp0:   Target 3 now Synchronous at 4.0 mb/s max transmit rate
			     ^^^^^^^^^^^
or something similar.

This refers to the SCSI transfer method (synchronous, ie clocking is
used rather than handshake), and the speed used. (I'm putting this
*very* simplistically.)

Yes, this message has been removed due to problems with several
devices that made the message appear over and over, e.g. the
Exabyte EXB-8500. There is a patch to SunOS 4.1.2 that also
suppresses this message.

I believe the list price for a 40MHz Sparc II clone with a DTK .31mm
20" color monitor, 16 meg SIMMS, hard drive (not sure of the size...
400 meg maybe) and the GRX card went for $8000 but could be had for 
less than $7000.  Oh yeah, the OS is Solaris 1.0 right now but they 
will be shipping with 2.0 in the near future.  The Sparc 1+ clone
is around $6000.  I also saw where they had a 2-processor 40MHz server 
version.

  Is all of this info pretty new to this group...I just joined in today. 
Thanks for sharing any more information about DTK products.  I'd like
to get a phone number for the company so I can call them directly
and ask them more pricing questions.

P.S.  I forgot to keep the brochure. :-(

Has anyone yet unearthed a copy of the pinouts for the SPARC-10 AUI
adaptor cable?  In case you haven't heard, you can't plug your existing
thicknet transceiver cable directly into the back of an SS-10 - Sun
chose to furnish the SS-10 with twisted pair ethernet and ISDN ports
instead.  The AUI signals are available, but they are piggybacked onto
the speakerbox connector and require a $75 adaptor cable (not included)
to mate with your standard DB-15 AUI connector.

Any help is much appreciated.

All,

  Please disregard my prior post.  I have just learned that that there is an
internal news group that I should have posted this to, and that posting outside
Sun for technical help is "bad form" and can give a bad impression to our customers.

Live snd learn...

Hi there ...

	We have a Bit Blitzer Mx-5, V32 modem which we want to
autoanswer on ttya of an SLC.  We can manage to get it to talk
at 2400 to other modems but when connecting at 9600 it connects
and then drops the line.
We think it might be something to do with the time taken to 
negotiate the connection.

Has anyone had experience with this sort of setup?
(any answers appreciated ....)
