I just bought a Micropolis 1548 (1.7GB formatted) to replace the
Fujitsu 2263SA which I put into a DOS system I just built.  The
price was $1099 with a 5-year warranty.  I found it through a
Macintosh magazine.  In general you should have no trouble using
any major manufacturer's drive with your sparcstation, unless
maybe you accidently order differential SCSI interface or some
such thing.

Dear SAH reader,
 
Is it possible for a mere software person to pop open a Sony GDM-1950 19"
color monitor with the purpose of fine tuning the electron beams which are
beyond the limits of the front panel controls without risk of electrocution?
 
Can anyone fax or email me the pertinent pages from a FSE manual concerning
these adjustments?

TIA,

Henry

  Hello!
  
  I have bought an Solaris x86 2.1 for an 486 DX 50 EISA with DPT 2012
  Controller and TEXEL 3024 (same as 5024 but internal). The problem is
  that I tried to install the OS with the normal bios for the CDROM but
  I failed. So my vendor gave me a special bios especially for SUN.
  With this bios I succeed to install the system. But now I am not able
  to use it under DOS. The vendor told me that this problem is not only
  TEXEL special. Perhabs you can tell me how to solve this problem.


Another Q: Where can I get the CDware in Germany. Or other good stuff on CD
           for Solaris.
