[SunRescue] SS4/SS5/SS10 funzies.....(:+}}...

[User Bobkeys BSD Bob the old greybeard BSD freak]

Well, the interdepartmental transfer came through, and although the
machines are not mine, I now have some better sunhorsepower to run
in the office, here, for a workstation and a teaching webserver use.
Us MooU aggie types get some better computin' hoersepwr, today.....

The SS4:   1 ram simm  501-2471-456764  (what size?)
           1 hd        Conner CFP1080E  (1 gig?)
           1 floppy
           no cards

The SS5:   1 ram simms 501-2471-78001688 (what size?)
           2 ram simms 501-2470-xxxxxxxx (what size?)
           2 hd        Seagate ST32430WC
           1 cdrom and some sort of card Sun Video?
           1 floppy
           1 video card GWVS24?

Can the ram from the SS4 be moved to the SS5 (YES), and how should
it be organized?

I would probably use the SS5 as a workstation and the SS10 as a server.
The SS4 would be some spare parts.

The SS10:  4 ram simm 501-1785  (what size?)
           4 ram simm 501-2273  (what size?)
           1 hd       C2490A    (HP?)
           (cables for 2 HD but no drive sleds)
           1 cpu      501-2239 TMS390
           1 video card SunGX
           1 floppy

My expectation is to hang a storageworks shelf off the SS10 for HD space.

What sort of use is the SunGX video card on the SS10, and what is the
processor speed?  Can the SS10 be used as a reasonable workstation in
its own right, or should it be run off a terminal or headless?
The only thing looking like a processor in the SS5 was a fan covered
chip?  The SS4 had a normal microsparc with hat chip.

Anything I need to be aware of in first bringing up any of these
critters on Sol8?

Anything I need to be aware of in the nvram/prom bits?

Thanks

Bob
