I looked around the board more and found "POR" etched on the board next to where the orange wire is soldered in and "P5" next to where the blue wire is soldered in. "P12" is etched at where the yellow (+12V) wire is soldered in. "GND" is at where the black wires are soldered in. "N12" is at

[cctalk] Re: Axil 220/245 PSU

The really frustrating thing is that I found a Usenet thread from 1998, after Axil shut down, where someone asked a similar question about Axil 220/245 PSUs and a former Axil employee seems to have sent the person documents that he needed to get his system going. Sadly those documents haven't

[cctalk] Re: Axil 220/245 PSU

Not really. As I said, Sun and Axil, while using the same 12-pin power connector, put the pins in different positions and color code the wires differently. For the 220, Axil also sourced the PSU from a different vendor and it is a completely different size (almost the same size as a flexatx

[cctalk] Axil 220/245 PSU

Does anyone here have a running Axil 220 or 245 (Sun SPARCstation LX clone)? My 220 has a dead PSU and I am trying to get it working with a modern PC PSU. But I don’t know the pinout for the power connector. While the power connector is the same as used by Sun, the pinout and, aside from +5V

I've been really surprised how much news that made. I've seen it get asked a few times in a few retro places. I would think lots of tv stations, colleges, and audiophiles would have one but maybe it really is that obscure. Given, I've never heard of the format so maybe I'm being naive. On
