Actually, I've found that the tip of a ball point pen (eg, Staedtler
Stick- metal point-solid- Don't use a retractable ballpoint- they're too
flimsy) works fine- just stick it in the hole and pry
down a bit until the sSimm releases- do it on both sides and pull out.
The lever point tends to be close to the chip, unlike the Hex wrench,
and gives good leverage and not much motion of the point- just enough to
release, so you can't do damage as it releases.

My 3/110 and two shoeboxes is becoming a tottering tower-of-power on my desk
and I don't like the "economy of scale" in three independent power supplies.
I'm in the process of considering trading the s'boxes for an empty 3/160
chassis. I'm not too familiar with these -- anyone done this? My questions:

Electrical

   Can I just plug in the VME boards? (I've the processor/graphics card, extra
   memory and a SCSI controller). Must some termination take place on the
   160 backplane or any other special cards or jumpers? Are all slots the same?

   Can I "turn down" the 850W supply in the 160 or repackage the 350W switcher
   in my 3/110? I don't like running space heaters in August, even in Canada.

Physical:

   Can I just knockout a plate and rebolt my 50meg 1/2" tape or do I need other
   hardware - I don't want to get stuck looking for obscure mounting brackets
   or other hardware with a naked drive.

   How much room is there in that top panel? Standard or "best" disk layouts?

Any other advise on configurating 3/160s or upgrading 110s to bigger chassis
MOST welcome.

I'm no hardware engineering guru, but I believe that most serial cards
use intelligent ASICs, and not UARTs, to drive serial I/O.

BTW, our 400SX and 800SX SBus boards support 115.2K baud asynch now, as
well as 57.6K baud.  With a slight hack to the software driver, the board
will support up to 128KB.  In future software driver releases, we expect
to also support 56KB, 64KB, and 128KB async.  The biggest use so far seems
to be to attach those really cheap X terminals that Qume makes.

We have been using one of these disks for about a month on an ELC running
4.1.2 here, and so far it seems to work just fine. Ours was bought from Parity
(the "Bootbox" series), and Parity recommended a slightly different entry
for format.dat. You might want to try this:

disk_type = "Micropolis 1924-21" \
	: ctlr = SCSI : fmt_time = 4 \
	: cache = 0x11 : trks_zone = 21 : asect = 11 : atrks = 63 \
	: ncyl = 2072 : acyl = 3 : pcyl = 2280 : nhead = 21 : nsect = 94 \
	: rpm = 5400 : bpt = 48124

We also have several of the Micropolis 1908-15 1.6 GByte disks, and we are
*very* pleased with these disks. We hope the 1924-21 will be just as good..

Article-I.D.: mdtf14.SIM.92Aug21105846
Distribution: usa
Organization: Fermilab, Batavia, IL

I am using a SparcEngine 1e board to control several VME devices.  The 
CPU is running SunOS 4.1e. I am programming the devices by opening the
appropriate device files (/dev/vme24d16 and /dev/vme16d16), calling mmap 
to map to the device registers, and then peeking and poking to the appropriate 
registers.

One of the VME devices I am programming is jumper-selectable to use 
either supervisory or non-privileged short addressing.  This device responds
only when jumpered for non-privileged addressing.   However, this device 
responded on a different (non-Sun) computer, even while jumpered for 
supervisory mode addressing.

Another of the VME devices I am programming uses standard addressing, 
but has no jumper for selecting supervisory or non-privileged modes.  This 
device responds on the non-Sun computer, but not on the SparcEngine 1e.  
The documentation for this device does not indicate whether it uses 
supervisory or non-privileged addressing modes, but the fact that it 
responds on the non-Sun computer, but not on the SparcEngine 1e board,
suggests that it uses supervisory addressing mode.

Is there a way of programming the address modifier bits of the VME bus from the
SparcEngine 1e board running SunOS?  Does SunOS provide non-privileged 
access by default when mmap is called?

One should be quite able to connect two 10baseT twisted pair
receivers back to back via the twisted pairs.  The only thing you
have to do is to connect the receive pair on one side to the
transmit pair on the other and vice-versa.  The transceiver
contains sufficient logic for CSMA/CD.  I made myself a couple of
RJ-45 cords with aligator clips and keep them in my tool bag for
convienient hub bypassing.

I know it works becuase I set up a Hughes terminal server with an
AUI port and 10baseT transciever to do a TFTP boot from an IBM PC
with an WD-8003 card and 10baseT transciever.  I wanted to be able
to boot the terminal server, but it was for an application that did
not use an ethernet backbone.

You have not mentioned a hub. Is it possible taht you tried to
connect the two transceivers directly? This will not work.
A twisted pair transceiver contains only part of the logic.
The rest resides in the hub.

We just set up an IPC in an office that used to have a 3/60.  The 3/60
had 16mb of memory and was used for OW 2.0 and Sunview.  The IPC actually
feels much slower than the 3/60!!!!  The IPC only has 8mb of memory and
is a color display instead of mono like the 3/60.  The IPC is used for
sunview and OW 3.0, and runs sunos 4.1.2 instead of 4.1.1_U1.

Is the problem with the IPC just lack of memory?  If we beef it upt o
16 or 32mb, will it pick up the pace a bit?  Perfmeter doesn't show an
excessive amount of swapping, although it does show some swapping activity
most of the time. (so it seems like it must be at least partly due to 
lack of memory).

I know of two I can recommend: one is an Sbus card made by a company
called CO/Systems. They make a version with 8 serial and one parallel
port per card, as well as other combinations. It uses an on-board
controller to lower the interrupt rate and consequently the load on the
host CPU. They also have VME 6U and 9U versions and support sun3
architectures, last I checked.

Another is Central Data's line of SCSI serial expansion devices.
They hook into your SCSI chain(s) and look and feel just like the
typical Sbus expanders. It's not quite as good a solution, since it is
an independantly powered intelligent device, which makes it not quite as
subservient as if it was plugged directly into the machine's innards,
but I have gotten good service out of it. And, of course, it's really
the only choice for people with [SE]LCs. They have versions with two
serial one parallel, 8 serial one parallel and 16 serial, as well as
other configurations.

In have used both products extensively and they pass my requirements.
In both cases, I discovered a bug but also in both cases it was fixed
quickly and patches were free.

Apart from the above I have no connections with either firm.

Serial has too much overhead for this to be efficient and flow control
is still a problem.  Several posters have raised the issue of
availability.  Nearly everyone who has a Sun has both a SCSI and an
Ethernet connection.  Ethernet and SCSI cards for PCs are also widely
available.  Macs have SCSI and Ethernet is easily available.

It's time to retire the UART and move on.

Does anyone know what the proper DIP switch settings are on the Multibus to
VME adaptor with a MTI-1600 board?

Sun says that IPC/IPX can't support the standard 425 MB internal disks
that come on SS2's because of heat/power considerations.  We have some
IPC systems doing just fine with these drives inside - is Sun just 
trying to sell little expansion boxes or are we living on borrowed time?

Any info appreciated, especially from large sites.
