Does anyone have any information on the following items:(
This isn't a NetBSD question directly, but I was told to
post mail by one of my profs. Any help at all would help.
Support for the CG9:
The docs say it isn't supported, but I would be willing to try
and port one of the current drivers to the cg9?[unless it can't
be done :(]
Fujitsu M2333k and M2322k: What are the dip switches for.
I didn't receive any information with these drives, and only
one works(All the dip switches are set different).
Magnetic Peripherals Inc: 9720-368 Sabre Drive.
Is this a smd drive, and if so, which connectors do I use?
Where is a good place to get eeprom chips for 3-50's, 3-60's, 3-160's
and 4-260's. I need some of each.
Anyone who has a 4-260 and can help me with my big problem, I will be
forever grateful. I have a 3-260 vme floor tower(or case?), with
the following configuration:
slot 1: Sun4-260
slot 2: empty
slot 3: 8MB ram
slot 4: 8MB ram
slot 5: 8MB ram
slot 6: 8MB ram
slot 7: Scsi
slot 8: 451 SMD controller
slot 9: empty
slot 10: CG9 framebuffer
slot 11: empty
slot 12: ALM-1 card
The system boot once in a while, but usually just hangs with the
fourth diagnostic light lit, and some of the memory cards stay disabled.
They are all the same type of card(501-1102), and no matter what order I
put them in, they always do the same thing.
I also have a 32MB card(501-1451 or 501-1254) that only has 16MB of
chips in it. Whenever I use this board, the system gets a memory error.
How do I tell the sun the board only has 16MB of ram on it?
One last question, is it possible to get a sun(50,60,and 160) to
boot over a network, without a monitor always connected to it?
Anyhelp will be amazingly appreciated.
