Hello all -
Some may recognize me from the Alpha or Vax ports...
Anyway, I just recieved 2 SPARCStation 1+ boxes, a SPARCStation 2, and I'm
awaiting delivery on a SPARCStation LX. Aside from the info I've collected
from sunhelp.org (below) and on NetBSD's site, what else can you guys tell
me about these boxes?
Thanks in advance...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPARCstation 1+ (4/65)
Processor(s): LSI L64801 @ 25MHz, Weitek 3172, Sun-4c MMU,
8 hardware contexts, 15.8 MIPS, 1.7 MFLOPS, 12
SPECmark89
CPU: 501-1632
Chassis type: square pizza box
Bus: SBus @ 25MHz, 3 slots (slot 3 slave-only)
Memory: 64M (40M?) physical with synchronous parity,
512M/process virtual; 64K write-through cache,
direct-mapped, virtually indexed, virtually
tagged, 16-byte lines; 50ns cycle
Architecture: sun4c
Notes: Code name "Campus B". 1M or 4M x 9 30-pin 100ns
SIMMs, in four banks. 1.44M 3.5" floppy.
Essentially same as SPARCstation 1, just faster
clock and improved SCSI controller. First
supported in SunOS 4.0.3c.
Audio --- AMD AM79C30A
"Telephone quality" audio chip capable of 8 KHz monaural audio input and
output that supports mu-law and A-law but not linear encoding; found in
sun4c systems and SPARCclassic.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPARCstation 2 (4/75)
Processor(s): CY7C601 @ 40MHz, TI TMS390C601A (602A ?), Sun-4c
MMU, 16 hardware contexts, 28.5 MIPS, 4.2
MFLOPS, 21.8 SPECint92, 22.8 SPECfp92, 517
SPECintRate92, 541 SPECfpRate92
CPU: 501-1638/1744/1858/1859/1912/1926/1989/1995
Chassis type: square pizza box
Bus: SBus @ 20MHz, 3 slots
Memory: 64M physical on motherboard/128M total, 64K
write-through cache, direct-mapped, virtually
indexed, virtually tagged, 32-byte lines
Architecture: sun4c
Notes: Code name "Calvin". 4M x 9 30-pin 80ns SIMMs, in
four banks. Case slightly larger and has more
ventilation. (Some models apparently have LSI
L64811 @ 40MHz?) Expansion beyond 64M is
possible with a 32M card which can take a 32M
daughterboard (card blocks SBus slot). First
supported in SunOS 4.1.1.
Audio --- AMD AM79C30A
"Telephone quality" audio chip capable of 8 KHz monaural audio input and
output that supports mu-law and A-law but not linear encoding; found in
sun4c systems and SPARCclassic.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPARCstation LX/ZX (4/30)
Processor(s): microSPARC @ 50MHz, 59.1 MIPS, 4.6 MFLOPS,
26.4 SPECint92, 21.0 SPECfp92,
626 SPECintRate92, 498 SPECfpRate92
CPU: 501-2031/2032/2233/2474
Chassis type: lunchbox
Bus: SBus @ 20MHz, 2 slots
Memory: 96M physical
Architecture: sun4m
Notes: Sun4m architecture, but no Mbus. Shares code
name "Sunergy" with SPARCclassic. Uniprocessor
only. Takes pairs of 4M or 16M 60ns SIMMs.
Soldered CPU chip. Onboard cgsix framebuffer, 1M
VRAM standard, expandable to 2M. DBRI 16-bit
audio/ISDN chip. First supported in SunOS
4.1.3c.
Audio --- T5900FC
DBRI (Dual Basic-Rate ISDN) chip for audio I/O that, in addition to audio,
supports ISDN (dual B channels plus one D channel) but requires an NT1 in
the US to connect to a line; found in LX, 10, and 20. Those systems
require a CS4215 codec to generate and receive audio.
