To: Suns-at-Home@ecn.purdue.edu Has anyone hooked up an external SCSI drive with controller made for a PC, to an IPX (OS4.1.3)? I have available one unused full-height bay in an add-on enclosure, but can't find an affordable (working) used Archive 2150S QIC-150 150 MB tape drive, which I understand works fine with SCSI-2. jim bennett ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ e-mail jbennett@mailbox.syr.edu (128.230.18.5) s-mail Maxwell School of Citizenship & Public Affairs, Syracuse University Syracuse (where else?), NY 13244 ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 30 Aug 1993 02:34:23 -0400 (EDT) From: "Anthony A. Datri" Subject: RF leakage To: suns-at-home@orchestra.ecn.purdue.edu Here's a question that couldn't fit the charter of this list more: How RF-noisy is the 4/60/65/75? I'm looking at a home machine something like a 4/60 upgraded to a clone SS2 cpu. My 3/110 in a 3/160 box messes up TV reception on the other side of the room like crazy. ======================================================================8--< ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Aug 93 18:52:30 CDT From: matt@severian.chi.il.us (Matt Crawford) Subject: serial ports on 3/160, how fast?

The two models have different UART chips. The ALM-1 just plain will NOT do anything above 19,200 baud. The ALM-2 will. (And the SunLink MCP variant of the ALM-2 can really kick some bits.) You still have your serial ports on your CPU board. ... Matt Crawford ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Aug 93 15:30:14 EDT From: wargopl@sun.soe.clarkson.edu (Peter L. Wargo) Subject: Suns-at-Home Digest V6 #25 To: Suns-at-Home@ecn.purdue.edu Ken Shackelford wanted to know what he could do to replace his 71M MFM disks... He's in luck. One good replacement is the Maxtor XT2190 MFM Disk. (Also known as the DEC RD-54.) Fast, reliable, and easy to swap in. I believe it's 1224cyl, 15hd - I can look it up if need be. Another option is to put in a SCSI or ESDI disk. A SCSI disk will work - just remove the Adaptec ACB4000 SCSI<->MFM board. An ESDI disk will take an MD-21 (Emulex) instead of the ACB4000. In any case, all you have to do is format the new drive (partitioning and testing it of course) and run newfs on the new partition(s). (Side note: I one had a real set attached to my Sun2/Sun3 (it migrated): 350M SCSI, 2x150M ESDI, 1x150M MFM, and 1x71M MFM.....) -Pete Wargo ------------------------------ End of Suns-at-Home Digest ******************************
