Subject: Exabyte stacker/8500c help desired
From: denis@vax1.mankato.msus.edu
Date: 7 Jan 93 12:09:36 -0600
Organization: Mankato State University

Hi!

I work at a public university - hence almost every big item gets
purchased thru a competitive bid process. 

I recently requested the purchase of a Exabyte 10 stacker with the
8500c compression drive from a national company that has
conciderable experience with this product (so they said). They also
had a very good price so I was fairly certain they would get the bid.

Anyway they didn't. I talked with the people who got the bid and
this seemed like the first time they had sold a stacker or the 8500c.
Many questions I had got answered by "I will have to check on that" 
so I am searching for some info from you knowledgable people.

Here are some of my questions. The stacker will be connected to a Sun
Sparc 1 running 4.1.2.

  Are there any blatant gotcha's in setup or use that can be avoided
  or one should be aware of?

  Is the vendor responsible for configuring and aligning the tape
  drive in the stacker or does it come "ready to go"?

  Is there a special /dev/rst? for either the stacker or the tape
  compression? Is tape compression automatic? Can it be turned off?

  What causes the stacker to move to a different tape?

  If there are any firmware upgrades - will I get those from Exabyte 
  or will the vendor be responsible for getting me these?

Thanks!!

We purchased 5 of SuperWorkstation's 50MHZ SS2 clones as soon as they were
  available and, other than a quickly corrected problem with the mice, 
  they've been running flawlessly with all benchmarks demonstrating that
  we are actually obtaining the 50/40 improvement in speed over regular
  SS2s.  
We ordered these machines with CG3 framebuffers, keyboards, and mice -- but
  with no RAM and no disks.  There've been no compatibility problems at the
  subcomponent level either.  Their keyboards, mice, and CG3 framebuffers
  work fine on Sun(tm) SS2s and vice versa.

Our observations about the hardware closely parallel John's, tho.  The boards
  are very clean, but the chassis leave something to be desired.  This latter
  was of no consequence to us, however, since we're using them all in server
  applications.

At this point, we plan to buy more of them.

I find that with our new 16" and 19" mono screens that either the
centre or the edge of the screen is in focus, but not both. They are
really pretty naff. I haven't seen your 'popping' tho'.

Many thanks to all the netters who responded to my request for information  
regarding mouse replacements for Suns.

I was sent useful information by Aslam Haswarey, Julie Reilly, Mike Khaw, John  
Mckeown, Jeff Wasilko, Joe Malek, Bill Stewart, and Thomas Davis.

Several people suggesting getting in touch with Logitech and/or Mouse-trak.

Aslam said:
Logitech has a mechanical mouse(~$80, me thinks) for the Sun workstations. 
Also, mouse-trak has a trackball mouse for sun workstations. They run
about $199. Call 1-800-533-4822 or send email to yvonne@moustrak.com.

Julie added:
If you order a mouse from Logitech and pay by credit card, they will let
you try it for XX-days and return it for a refund if you do not like it.

And Bill Stewart has already posted here:
Qualix sells Logitech roller mouses.
911031-00 Logitech Series 15 mouse with Sun interface $79
Qualix +1-415-572-0200  San Mateo CA


Mike added:
My SS1 has a 3-button Logitech mouse on it that works just great. No
stupid optical pad that cares about the orientation of the mouse on it
to worry about. 

Jeff said that Sun Express has mechanical mice: 800-use-sunx

Thanks again to everyone.

To clarify slightly, there are no real problems with the Classic.
The problem is that the Classic only runs the latest version of
SunOS, etc. (Solaris 2.1) that many software vendors don't yet
support.

Many applications will run on the Classic (execuse me, Solaris 2.1)
in binary compatibility mode.  For example, Island Write/Paint/Draw
works fine.  But FrameMaker doesn't.  I haven't upgraded myself
because I use FrameMaker all the time.

The Classis is a GREAT machine, but before you buy, check with
your software vendors (or the net) to see if the software you
use works with Solaris 2.1.  A list of working software
gets posted to comp.unix.solaris at regular intervals.

"Noticably" is something like a factor of two on a 4mb machine.  It's
a lot faster than that on a 1 or 2mb machine since the kernel won't be
swapping all the time (in fact, SunOS 3.5 didn't swap the kernel
because back then the kernel was a sane size).

In a previous life I used a Sun-2 on a day-to-day basis.  I even tried
running NeWS on it (bad idea :-).  They made pretty good X servers
although I think you'd have a hard time getting newer X releases to
run on them.

They make pretty good tables.  I once used one as a stepladder when

 I want to use a sun color monitor (model hm-4115 to be exact) on the
Black/White port of a Sun 3/60.  The monitor has been used on
a cgfour board.  (I want to use this color monitor on the BW port to have
a 2-headed sun system.  The system already has a cgfour board connected
to a different monitor.)

 Is it possible to drive the color monitor of the BW port without having
to modify the monitor or sun itself, and without a lot of circuitry in
between?

 Unfortunately, I don't have the technical specs on either the CGfour
board or the BW port.

 I would be interested in any pointers people may have.  Post or
mail is fine.

    SS10 now come setup to install Solaris 2.1 when they are first
turned on.  They do NOT have 4.1.3 pre-installed anymore!

    I first heard about this while visiting Sun around Dec. 14th.  I
couldn't believe it at first and when I did, I started to scream!
In order for Jumpstart to work, you need to have a Solaris 2.1 machine
with the Solaris 2.1 CD on your local network configured to answer
to the Jumpstart requests.
    I loudly explained to Sun that since I wasn't expecting my copy
of Solaris 2.1 until sometime in February or March (normal delay for
my maintenance contract out here) that it didn't make any sense at
all to deliver machines which need that CD in order to work!
(She understood and I believe the message got across and she was
 nice enough to provide me with her own copy of the CD!  Thanks Minoo).

    In the meanwhile, you just need to install 4.1.3 in the old fashion
way.  However, since you did mention that you don't have 4.1.3 on any
media whatsoever you are out of luck.  You might ask Sun to loan you
a copy of the media, they often do so for us.

|>   The old boot syntax no longer works.

    This has been true for quite a while.  You just need to type
boot disk     or   boot   by itself will usually do it assuming you
have an operating system on the disk of course.

Most similar product = original Indigo.
As measured by SPEC92, both int and FP performance are grossly
similar.

The mips-rating comes from Dhrystone,  and is completely useless.
The mips/SPECint rating has been crawling upward; at this point,
it's something like 2:1 or 3:1 for the SS LX.

Ignore mips-ratings & dhrystone-mips; even the person who invented
the Dhrystone in the first place has long ago said, in public, many times,
that it has long since outlived its usefulness...

Date: 8 Jan 93 15:52:32 GMT
Organization: University of Massachusetts at Lowell Computer Science

I have a Sun 4/280S running SunOS 4.1.1. Some months back, shortly after a
budget cut killed our service contract, It appeared to be having some memory
problems. We had 3 32Mb boards in slots 6, 3, and 4. Pulling the boards out
of 3 and 4 seemed to solve the problem. If either or both were put in,
various programs would fail with bus errors or segmentation faults, and
eventually the system would crash. Without them, it ran fine.

I managed to get two new boards, and placed them in yesterday. A short time
later, things started dying again with the same symptoms, and the system
crashed. Running memory tests in diagnotic mode resulted in no errors, but
the system would not boot completely with either board present. Removing the
boards resulted in a clean boot.

I have checked most of the possibilities. The terminating resistor network
is only present on board 0, which is in slot 6. Board 1 is in slot 3 and
board 2 is in slot 4. The bottom two jumpers on 3,4, and 6 are all in place.
A check of the Cardcage Slot Assignments manual agrees with the jumper
settings, but one diagram said that board 1 should be in slot 2, and board 2
in slot 3, which is impossible, since the CPU takes slots 1 and 2. A
paragraph later indicates 3 and 4 are correct.

Can anyone else give me any ideas???

Has anyone ever used a RZ56 SCSI hard drive on a Sun SPARCserver 4/400 before?
Can it be done? Or is the hardware sufficently different that it won't work
with the SD driver? (Or for that mater, are they plug compatible?)

If it is possible, can anyone suggest format parameters for the drive?
I certainly don't seem to be able to squeeze that information out of the
VAX the drive is connected to at the moment.

Also, has anyone ever suceeded matching VAX/VME with SUN/VME?

All Motif versions of Frame are statically linked.  The OpenLook version
of Frame (3.1.1OL) is not.  You can run 3.1.1OL under Solaris 2.x.  However,
the version of OpenWindows that came with Sol. 2.0 didn't have all the font
aliases that it should have had.  The release notes will tell you how to
fix it.  I haven't loaded 2.1, yet, so I don't know if 2.1 fixes the font
problem.
