Hi guys!
My woes with SCSI drives and my Sun 3/50 now seem to be over. It appears=
that the SCSI cable I was using was either a) defective or b) too long. =
Once I used a shorter cable, things went just peachy. With a revision 2.=
7 ROM
I was able to tapeboot from a Wangtek 5150ES drive, and the rest is, well=
,
history... I now have a "fully functional" Sun 3/50 running NetBSD :-) (=
Ok, I =
left out the games, due to a shortage of disk space :-) ) =
Thanks to all who provided suggestions on getting things going, and thank=
s
to all who worked to make NetBSD run on a Sun3. Way cool! :-) =
Later...
