Well, I picked up a 5000/133 for dirt today (it's got 32 megs of RAM, a PMAG-BB,
and an RZ24, cost me $25...for anybody here from UMD, it used to be
dingdong.cs.umd.edu :) ). Now I have a few questions.
- Are the SIMMS in here propriatary or can I use something I have laying
around the house?
- How is the PMAX port with using non-DEC drives? I know it's a
stupid question, but I'm just starting w/ this architecture. Can I
use a seagate barracuda for instance?
- Is the PMAGB-B supported? The INSTALL for 1.3.2 makes note of the
PMAG-DV, PMAG-BA, PMAGB-BA (is this the same as PMAGB-B?), and PMAG-AA.
- What should this machine compare to speed-wise for a workstation running
X?
Thanks
rob
