Interesting. I was just about to ask whether there was any tricks to getting my DAT drive to work. When the system boots it recognizes it as: May 1 13:12:23 davids vmunix: st1 at esp0 target 5 lun 0 May 1 13:12:23 davids vmunix: st1: Unfortunately on the first access 1) A message is printed on the console 2) The program gets an I/O error. And on all following accesses an I/O error results. (st0 is a normal Sun 60 meg tape drive - I really want to be using the DAT drive for backups for some reason). So it's great that both responses suggest adding an entry in st_conf.c. Do any of y'all have this drive? Or can point me at documentation for the fields in the table (the documentation in stdef.h *might* be enough...) I'm running SunOS 4.1.2.

I would have suggested Sendmail 5.x+IDA. Double yuck! I would've suggested MMDF! (Or perhaps PathWay Messaging if you're interested in 1) X.400/RFC822 gatewaying and 2) paying money ... ;-) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 06 May 1994 12:41:58 -0700 From: - Greg Earle Subject: Toasted monitor :-( To: Suns-at-Home@ecn.purdue.edu Last night I watched my X desktop slowly squeeze in horizontally, and then with one final dying gasp, the picture turned in on itself cylindrically and disappeared with a poof. Nice effect, but now my monitor is dead :-( I have a TriGem SDT-200 (SPARCstation-1 clone) with a 20" TriGem monitor, which is really made by Philips. Anyone have any tips or pointers to finding a place that would be able to fix a 4 year old 20" Philips monitor? Most of those ads I see in the vendor mags talk about repairing VGA/SVGA monitors. I didn't see Philips mentioned anywhere ... :-( (I had to dial out from my Mac to work and rlogin to my home machine over my other phone line PPP link to mail this (-: ) Thanks, -- - Greg Earle ------------------------------ End of Suns-at-Home Digest ******************************
