As well as providing Nameserver and or MX-records for other sites (nic-type functions) Can a 2/50 or other 2/x machine do these will relative grace? What version of Sun OS 3.x or 4.1 will I need to get all of this done (the faster and simpler, the better) Please reply directly to me. Thank's in advance, -Chris P.S. If you have such a machine and/or SunOS to sell, contact me. The minimal configuration would be CPU, 3-4 MB, SCSI port, ThinNet ethernet connector, 1-2 serial ports. A monitor, keyboard, and mouse would be nice, but not necessary, this has to be cheap. The OS could be on 60 or 150 MB 1/4" tape or on a HD (If HD is included, should be 150 MB to 200 MB).

This is fixed by removing the jumper on pins 5 and 6 on jumper block CN3/CN9. If the feature is enabled the drive will experience random errors. Hope this helps. -- Stephen Martin ------- LSI Logic Corporation of Canada, Inc. Phone: (416) 620-7400 LSI|LOGIC| Suite 1110, 401 The West Mall, Fax: (416) 620-5005 | | Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada.
