Re: problems with current on a 3/80



Totally cromulent patch! It is informed by this comment I wrote just about 30 YEARS ago:
/*
 * The 3/80 is the only member of the sun3x family that has non-contiguous
 * physical memory.  Memory is divided into 4 banks which are physically
 * locatable on the system board.  Although the size of these banks varies
 * with the size of memory they contain, their base addresses are
 * permanently fixed.  The following structure, which describes these
 * banks, is initialized by pmap_bootstrap() after it reads from a similar
 * structure provided by the ROM Monitor.
 *
 * For the other machines in the sun3x architecture which do have contiguous
 * RAM, this list will have only one entry, which will describe the entire
 * range of available memory.
 */
I think this explains why the reporter only saw 16 MB out of 64 MB available.

This is almost certainly my fault.  I’ll take a look later this week.  (Alas, I don’t have a 3/80 to test on, nor do I know if any 3/80 emulators.)

Ok, “later this week” turned into “later this morning”, and I see the problem.  Stay tuned.

Ok, it *should* be fixed by this.  Please let me know if that’s not the case:

Sorry, I forgot to say - that’s rev v 1.130 of pmap.c.
