Need Help with Solaris 10 on Toshiba Tecra 8200:
I have loaded the OS and all is fine except for the graphics driver and
Audio drivers. I am unable to locate a driver for my laptop to utilize the
full screen and I can not get a better resolution than 640x480.
I suspect that I need the proper driver. Additonally I have detected that I
do not have an audio driver, Any ideas . I have already searched the web
and the Toshiba sites.
TIA
bill.

hi,
if you want to write a CD -- see previous replies...
if you want to talk to CD/DVD reader in V880 then tou should try to use
something that makes a dialog on SCSI bus (e.g. uscsi - 'man uscsi') to
send messages to device.

This is an internal drive. Is there supposed to be an internal
terminator on the motherboard somewhere or a jumper?

All SCSI busses must be terminated at each end. SCSI host adapters often
terminate one end, but you must terminate the other end. Some drives
have terminators built-in, on older disks it's a resistor pack you plug
in or remove.
Check to make sure the drive in the middle of the bus isn't terminating
(check manufacturers docs to find out how they do it) and make sure the
disk on the end of the bus IS terminating. If the end disk doesn't have
a built-in terminator you will need to add one to the SCSI cabling after
the last disk on the bus.
Also, check your disk SCSI ID number. You cannot duplicate SCSI ID's on
a single bus.

These are SCA drives that install into the drive cage inside the
machine. I will look into how these drive terminate. There are no
jumpers on these drives.

The U60 has an internal SCA backplane for the two scsi disks. AFAIK all
SCA stuff is auto terminating.

Again, AFAIK, SCA deals with SCSI ID assignment.

P.S: I've had similar problems with newer (U320 SCA) drives in my U2,
but never investigated the issue.

Any reason why when a second known working drive is installed format
does not see it?

Craps, forgot about that. SCA handles all the details. My head has been
in really old hardware lately.

Have a look on the harddisk-logic-board, locate the mini-jumpers for special
configuration and verify with the first one.
