Re: Getting Sun Sparcstation 10 to recognize its graphics card

Freeze as in "screen stays blank (but pressing caps lock changes the LED)", or "system does not boot at all", or "system boots but locks up when initializing graphics"? I assume it's just the screen staying blank. Note that using an SGI monitor on a sun using a 13W3 to 13W3 cable will not work. Th

looking for VME board manuals

Hi all I acquired a "few" VME boards over the years, and I finally have time to deal with some of the less cooperative ones. I'm looking for the following VME board manuals (any information is welcome, especially pinouts for the front panel or P2 connectors, jumpers, how to re-create the nvram co

Looking for Console MUX cable for HP E45

2020-11-15 Thread Rico Pajarola via cctech
I recently acquired a HP 9000 E45. Unfortunately, it came without the console MUX panel and cable. I was lucky to find an ADP II (5062-3054) in my "pile of useful stuff", but sadly, the 78pin to DB9 cable is missing. The part number of the cable is 5060-3074 though there might be others that work

SPARCengine CP1200

2021-03-03 Thread Rico Pajarola via cctech
I just acquired a Sun SPARCengine CP1200. To my knowledge the CP1200 is the only 32bit SPARC with a PCI bus, which makes it pretty cool. It was also extremely unpopular, because who wants a 100MHz MicroSPARC IIep when you can have a SPARCengine CP1500 with a 270MHz UltraSPARC IIi (they were release
