Are you guys talking about "amd" instead of Sun's automounter?
I believe an "/-" entry in auto.master does not "match everything" for
Sun's automounter, but rather simply indicates a direct map for the
automounter.

My auto.master looks like:
    #Mount-point    Map             Mount-options
    /home           auto.home       -rw,intr
    /usr/local/mnt  auto.local      -rw,intr
    /-              auto.spool      -rw,intr
    /net            -hosts          -rw,nosuid,intr
and works fine with Sun's automounter (SunOS 4.1.1).

ruck

We have a bunch of Seiko 55XX and 44XX printers.  I have a couple of problems.

1.	Newsprint does not recognize a Seiko raster file and pass it on.
	Instead, it just dumps it.
2.	The PAPERSIZE option in the .param file is ignored by the 44XX printers.

I would like to maintain just one queue for each printer.  If you have solved
either of these, I would appreciate a note.

I will summarize.

I'm trying to get my hands on a Sun box to use at home. I'm thinking of a Sun 3/60 or something similar I suppose.

I have little spare cash, but I do have a 19" Sony colour monitor (like the ones Sun supply with SS-1's) in good condition that I am prepared to swap/trade. I'm looking for a Sun 3/60 with loads of RAM, enough disk to get me started and either a 19" mono monitor, or a colour framebuffer (I have another colour monitor). Tape would be nice too. It doesn't have to look nice, but must work.

I want this stuff to run X11 and other odds & ends so I can do some hacking at home, I'm open to offers & (polite) suggestions

I have a Sony 19" colour monitor I'd like to connect to a Sun colour framebuffer. I looked at the connector on our SS-2 here at work, and it has a large D-type connector with three coaxial connectors and 8 ordinary pins. 

My monitor has 5 BNC connectors, RGB plus H and V syncs. I need to know what the pins on the Sun framebuffer are used for, I've seen a cable that has the sun connector on one end and 5 BNC's on the other, but the company wanted over 100 UKpounds for it (~US$ 160!).

Anyone know the pinout, or where I can get it, please email me,

Thanks

I'm putting together a workstation built around an IPC for use at home. 
I'm in need of the following components:

	-> Internal SCSI disk(s) of 100 - 300 MByte (approx) capacity. 
           (3.5 inch form factor disks prefered but I'm not ruling out
	    5.25 inch disks)

	-> Sun 1/4 inch low density tape (60 Mbytes) mounted in a shoe
	   box.  SCSI cable also required.  If the shoe box can also hold
	   a 5.25 inch SCSI disk, all the better.

	-> Sbus color frame buffer (part 501-1718).

	-> 19 inch color monitor (Hitachi).

If you have any of the above items that you're interested in selling
please drop me an email message with your asking price.  I'm especially
interested in getting a used disk or disks over the network as resellers
are charging almost as much for used disks as they are for new ones. 
I've found "reasonable" prices for the other items from resellers, but
would be interested in hearing of other possibilities.

The best temperature for workstations,..., well, below 50C absolutely,
but below 35 degrees Centigrade is the manufacturers recommendation. There-
fore insert a thermometer that records the maximum temperature inside the
chassis and see how the environment affects it. I always wonder why
people don't feed cold air into computer devices rather than cool the
room. I usually put that kind of thermometer on the hottest chip whenever
I think of getting rid of a fan.

I have my SS2 sitting on my desk directly in front
of me with the monitor on top of it. I too found it a bit
noisy. I discovered though that simply blocking the opening
in the front of the slab between the two front feet prevented
a large amount of noise from coming out the front directly
at me. There are still large openings on the sides for 
ventalation. If you try this make sure the sides are clear.
This has made a LARGE difference to me. Just something less
readical to try.

Hi,

funny question, the cheapest printer you can attach to a Sparc 1
is simply the cheapest printer you can get (as long as it has 
a serial interface). (I saw a new 9-pin printer, manufactured in 
east-germany (when it was GDR) for ~$60, maybe you can get a printer 
even cheaper).

I have a HP Deskjet 500 connected to my SUN 3/60, the DJ has a serial
and a parallel interface. And it's quiet cheap.

The Prestoserve board should improve NFS write performance (when installed
on the NFS server) on sequential writes. It works by buffering up write requests
and providing immediate responses to the client. It uses battery backup to
prevent the loss of data in the event of a server failure (system crash, power
loss, etc). It does little or nothing to improve read performance.

In real life situations the actual performance benefits you see will depend on
your mix of read vs. write requests. When you have a large amount of writes
you should see a noticable improvement in performance.

Does anyone have the announcement letters for the new machines
announced yesterday?  Please post or email if you do.

Thanks,
