Is this impossibly slow? If not, what hardware do you recommend? I would like to be able to access a large set of files from a remote location via serial lines, perhaps through the campus terminal server. Am I dreaming? Brook G.

Milton) Subject: SCSI-2 in Sun-3/150 To: suns-at-home@orchestra.ecn.purdue.edu My config: Sun-3 CPU: 501-1208, in slot 1 PARITY Systems, Inc. 8M memory board, in slot 2 Color Frame Buffer: 501-1116, in slot 3 SCSI-2: 501-1149, in slot 5 I recently added the PARITY memory board and tweeked the EEPROM up to 12M. I also added the SCSI-2, had to move it from slot 4 to slot 5 to get the machine to come up at all. All jumpers on the SCSI-2 are set to factory defaults. The backplane has been correctly configured. I have a Seagate ST1126N SCSI hard disk set to ID=3, terminator resistors are in, terminator power is from the drive power, parity is not enabled. There was no change in behavior with parity enabled. I know the drive works. If I connect the drive with a 50 pin ribbon cable to the only 50 pin header on the SCSI-2 board, the "x" extended diagnostic in the boot ROM, test "sd" reports "scsi: bus busy". I booted SunOS 4.1.1 over Ethernet from a PeeCee running Interactive 3.0 and it sees the memory and the SCSI controller. Here is what I see with the drive connected and the cards in: SunOS Release 4.1.1 (GENERIC) #1: Sat Oct 13 06:05:48 PDT 1990 Copyright (c) 1983-1990, Sun Microsystems, Inc. mem = 12288K (0xc00000) avail mem = 10960896 Ethernet address = 8:0:20:0:36:20 sc0 at vme24d16 0x200000 vec 0x40 st0 at sc0 slave 32 st1 at sc0 slave 40 sr0 at sc0 slave 48 sc0: SCSI bus continuously busy sc0: resetting scsi bus (last two lines 11 times) srattach: unit offline sd0 at sc0 slave 0 (errors) sd1 at sc0 slave 1 (errors) sd2 at sc0 slave 8 (errors) sd3 at sc0 slave 9 (errors) sd4 at sc0 slave 16 (errors) sd6 at sc0 slave 24 (errors) zs0 at obio 0x20000 pri 3 zs1 at obio 0x0 pri 3 ie0 at obio 0xc0000 pri 3 bwtwo0 at obmem 0xff000000 pri 4 bwtwo0 resolution 1152 x 900 cgtwo0 at vme24d16 0x400000 vec 0xa8 cgtwo0 Sun-3 color board, fast read ... SunOS then comes up to the "#" prompt (I did "b -s" in the monitor) Well, does anyone have any ideas?

This seems to be a flow control problem (as Hal Stern's serial.ps suggests). This configuration is used for dialing out only so no getty is running but I am not sure of how to get proper flow control working (or if this is even possible). Is upgrading to 4.1.1 or 4.1.1 U1 the only solution? Thanks for any and all help!
