Hello,
I have a Sparc twenty that I am trying to test if it works -- in particular
I want to see what PROM it has.
It has no MBUS modules and no VSIMM. It has memory and a hard disk.
I put in a TGX framebuffer and started it up. The hard disk spun up and
the keyboard worked, but I did not get any video at all.
My suspicion is:
- Sparc 20 will not boot up without an MBUS
- It is set in headless mode and something has to be changed for it to use
my TGX
- It is broken
I hope it is not the third one, but if any one has any thought/suggestions
it would be welcome.
Thanks,
