RE: 9i download

2001-06-04 Thread Boivin, Patrice J 

Chris,

If you're downloading using MS IE, be careful - you can't jump around while
the download is taking place, your file will be corrupt.  Best to start in
the evening, and come back the next morning.

I use something called Download Accelerator, it's adware but it works and
it's free.  It downloads things in parallel.  It's written for dial-up
connections but it works well on DSL .

Re: 9i download

2001-06-04 Thread Bill Pribyl 

Another problem I've encountered occurs specifically when downloading with
Netscape 6 (Mozilla).  It attempts to unzip the file for you--without asking or
mentioning this--and corrupts it in the process.  Or something like that.  I've
downloaded the files from Technet with Netscape 4.7x and it works fine for me.

Chris,

If you're downloading using MS IE, be careful - you can't jump around while
the download is taking place, your file will be corrupt.  Best to start in
the evening, and come back the next morning.

I use something called Download Accelerator, it's adware but it works and
it's free.  It downloads things in parallel.  It's written for dial-up
connections but it works well on DSL .

I keep trying to download 9i and the files keep being invalid gzip

Anyone else have this problem or have successfully downloaded this

I have downloaded each file 3-4 times now in the last 2 days.

I believe that a cable modem or a DSL are the best download accelerators on
the market. Doing that with a 56k modem is a suicide. From this perspective,

yeah, the download is free - but you have to own a SPARC box to use it.

I saw a quote for the following - (refurbished)

E450
2 x 400 MHz CPUs - 4 MB cache
4 x 256 MB RAM
4 x 9.1 GB hard drives
SCSI controllers, fast ethernet, video adapter
OS kit

$12,000

Kinda steep when you're used to Intel boxes.
Looks like I might hunt on Ebay for awhile longer.

Title: RE: 9i download





Paul and all others interested.  Ebay seems to be a great source for used sun boxes, I've also noticed at sun's site they have a new workstation for $999.  Now of course you'd probably need more ram but this setup looks like it can handle and run 9i, etc for testing purposes at home. Hardware guys out there could you determine if this is enough? Thanks. Ivan Rivera

Title: RE: 9i download



Very 
suitable, it is a great machine, just don't plan on getting any upgrades 
cheap.  Memory and DVD are astronomical priced.
 
256Mb 
would be better, but I believe you can run 9i on 128Mb.
 
The 
blade is a nice machine, really nice for a workstation as it has USB and some 
newer features, but considerably smaller L1,L2 cache which makes it a bit slower 
for server type apps than say a U10.
But it 
is still a great machine for the money, no questions there.
Perfect for that task you mentioned.  But i would recommend getting 
128Mb additional.

Chris,

Can't you just put standard RAM in those?  It's not actually
proprietary memory is it?

Re: 9i download

2001-06-05 Thread Don Granaman 



I looked at these online today.  The Sun RAM 
and hard drives are outrageously expensive!  However,...
 
 re: RAM ---
 
Under FAQs, it says:
 
2. Is this memory 
proprietary?No. The memory used in the 
Sun Blade 100 is industry standard.
 
3. Why buy Sun 
memory?This family of 
memory products are priced competitively and are tested, approved and qualified 
by Sun.
 
Elsewhere it says: "168-pin JEDEC DRAM with error 
correction."
 
So, I appears that it will take decent non-SUN 
RAM.  I would certainly argue with the statement that Sun RAM is "priced 
competitively"!  Check out www.crucial.com - on 
the front page it says:
"256MB upgrade for Sun Blade 100 Workstation 
$70.19 "
(128MB and 512MB modules are also available.)  
Sun wants about $300!  Crucial's web price is even lower - 
$63.89!
 
--- re: second EIDE disk ---
 
Hmmm...  For about $300, the same price as 
Sun's 15 GB disk, one can get a retail 
IBM 75GB EIDE Ultra ATA/100  LP Deskstar 7200 
RPM 75GXP.  Will it work in the Blade 100?
 
--- re: other ---
I'm not sure whether the Sun 17" or 21" monitors 
are decently priced, but the resolutions and refresh rates are certainly not 
spectacular.  The SCSI card doesn't seem like a bargain and the video cards 
are certainly not.  So,...
 
Has anyone tried a third-party SCSI 
controller?  A third party PCI video card?  Third party 
monitor?

No, it is the same ram as a Sparc 20, Ultra 1, Ultra 60, Ultra 80, Ultra 30,
E450, E450R, E250R.

Depending if you put 1, 2, 4 dimms in.

The memory isn't too badly priced, it is still more than PC new.  But not as
exspensives as some of them.
They are actually quite fast for the MHz/Bus speeds.  Not nearly as fast as
my u10 with 10 disks, but not bad at all.

Use a 
Symbios 390UF controlller from Techram, $61 dollars, ultra wide, exactly the 
same as 2940UW and works great in sun boxes.  I got two of them in the my 
Sun U10 one pointing two cheetah drives, one pointing to raid box.  And 
soon fiber card pointing to sparc array 200 with 30 9gb drives
