[SunRescue] newbie with SS10 problems. (lots of them!)

[Cyrus M. Reed]

Actually, the SunHW Reference states the following for adding ram to the
SS10:

        Memory is in the form of up to eight 16M (501-1785 or 501-2273)
        or 64M (501-1930) 70ns SIMMs. They must be installed in the
        order shown:

            Nearest SBus connectors

                J201 --------------------- (1)  0x00000000-0x03FFFFFF
                J202 --------------------- (8)  0x10000000-0x13FFFFFF
                J203 --------------------- (3)  0x04000000-0x07FFFFFF
                J301 --------------------- (6)  0x14000000-0x17FFFFFF
                J302 --------------------- (4)  0x08000000-0x0BFFFFFF
                J303 --------------------- (5)  0x18000000-0x1BFFFFFF
                J304 --------------------- (2)  0x0C000000-0x0FFFFFFF
                J305 --------------------- (7)  0x1C000000-0x1FFFFFFF

The order would be given by the numbers in (), and the SIMMs the
special 128(?) pin SS10/20 kind....
I seem to recall that this is what I saw at docs.sun.com as well before
they took away the references to the SS10.  If I only had an SS10 (or
even better, an SS20 :) to apply this knowledge to.... *sigh*

Check out the SunHW Ref (and other fine documents) on www.sunhelp.org,
they have all sorts of tidbits that will help with your SS10.
