To: att!andrew.cmu.edu!sun2+, att!orchestra.ecn.purdue.edu!Suns-at-Home Hi gang, I have been working on upgrading my 2/50 to a Sun-3 by swapping in a 3/160 motherboard. So far, I have gotten the board powered up and have run through the monitor-program by using a terminal on Serial-A. I have verified that console keyboard (a type-3) seems to work okay, in that the monitor-program takes input from it. However, I am having some problems with the display. I have the 1100x900 (approx.) monochrome display fropm the Sun-2/50 hooked up to the 3/160 and am not getting any output on the display. The EEPROM settings when I got the board seem to indicate that the 3/160 was hooked up to a 1100x900 monochrome before. I understand that several people on this list have done this upgrade before, and I understand that a jumper setting needs to be changed, and maybe some other mods, in order to get the monitor to work. I have looked over the jumper settings, and the only thing I can see remotely related to the display is the enable/disable jumper for the display clock, and changing this setting does not seem to have any major effect on the display. Does anyone have any info on this? Also, I now have a 4-Meg + SCSI expansion board for the 2/50, and all I really need is a SCSI controller. Does anyone know where I could pick up an inexpensive SCSI controller for this configuration? I could then try to sell off the 2/50 expansion board, since I can't use the 4-Meg anyway. Thanks for the help. -bill rankin ------------------------------ End of Suns-at-Home Digest ******************************
