To: Suns-at-Home@tigger.net-kitchen.com Sun has an MGX32 now that does 24 bits at a price that's not bad, relative to Sun's usual gouging. Does quake II run on this platform in a way that's worthwhile? - ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 Mar 1999 05:47:25 +1100 (EST) From: Craig Dewick Subject: Serial Conection (fwd) To: suns-at-home@tigger.net-kitchen.com Hi, I received this via email from Tony Walton who works for Sun in the UK in response to my posting in the newsgroups about 'break' signals from terminals causing Sun boxes to abort to the bootROM... I figured it's something most people would not be aware of (I certainly didn't know about what Tony mailed me about!), so I'm posting it to the Suns-At-Home mailing list as well as 'aus.computers.sun': ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > Date: Fri, 26 Mar 1999 15:22:43 +0000 > From: Tony Walton > To: Craig Dewick , arti@quantum.net.au > Subject: Re: Serial Conection Craig Dewick wrote: > > In <36fb33ec.2913011@harvestbc.com.au> arti@quantum.net.au (Attila Siha) writes: > > >I have a sparc 2 connected to a Pc via a serial conection. > >A funny thing that happen is when i reboot the Pc, and then open > >a terminal connection, the Sparc is at the prom prompt (ok) eventhough > >i had logged on to the Sparc before the reboot. > > >Any one know why this happens? > > >It is irritating. > > The Sparc thinks it's been sent a 'break' signal, and that's interpreted the > same as 'stop-A'. There are lots of workarounds If Attila is running Solaris 2.6 or 7, then kbd -a disable will do the trick quite nicely. the -a option to kbd means: -a enable/disable state Enable or disable the keyboard abort sequence effect. By default, a keyboard abort sequence (typically, Stop-A or L1-A on the keyboard and BREAK on the serial console device) suspends the Operating System on most sys- tems. This default behavior can be changed using this option. This option can only be used by the superuser. enable Enable the default effect of the key- board abort sequence, which is to suspend the operating system and enter the debugger or the monitor. disable Disable the default effect and ignore keyboard abort sequences. Be aware, though, that this means that if the machine hangs, there will be no way to get it to the ok prompt if keyboard abort is disabled - this may or may not be a concern. Hope this helps Tony ---- stop ---- So there you go! I'd never heard of the 'kbd' command until now...

It's having memory parity errors. I'm looking for a replacement CPU board at the moment if anyone has one lying around... I need a 3/110 with the cgfour/bwtwo frame buffer. The part number on my board is: 501 1134 06106. Alternately, I would be interested in picking up a Sparc 2 level system if you've got one of those. I'm looking for everything but the monitor.
