[SunRescue] Sun 4/330 LEDs

[Mike Nicewonger]

You cannot use the 3U memory board with the 4/600 board. It only works with
the 4/3x0 boards.

You will have to get 16 MB SIMMs to get 512 MB in that chassis. The
additional memory board that works in the 670 & 690 is 1 slot too wide to
fit in with the CPU board in the x30 chassis.

The 330 requires waving of a dead chicken (or was that goat??) over itself
sometimes. Other than that kind 'o funky voodoo I dunno.

> I've got a 4/330 warming my basement.  I'm trying to understand the
backplane.  I dropped a 4/6xx (501-2055?) in there and it runs AOK, but it
doesn't see the 4Meg shorty (3U?) memory cards.  The 330 board sees them
just fine.  ????   VME has got my goat...
> I'm lurking for a 4/6xx memory card (512MB or bust!) but I haven't been
too aggressive since I don't know if I can strap it in the 330 chassis (or
my 4/110 box) and get the moboard to see it.  And I'm curious about the 6U
slots.  What are they intended to support?
>   I have a '97 FEH and it has a couple small hints about the 330 (like
boot params - disk = Unix 6 = sd (0,18,0)).  Found that last night flipping
through looking for Ux000E details.  The 600 series is fairly well
documented for inference work.
> I tried setting the disk to SCSI 3 with no response.  I'm too poorly
edumacated to mod that in the PROM from the console.  I have to wait till it
bombs on disk and then manually boot from SCSI0(>b sd(0,0,0)).
> I don't guess this is a version of OBP?  Anything in your docs on what I
should do to get a smooth boot?  Maybe I can try it on SCSI6 (bright bulb,
ain't I)?  Screen resolution changes sounds interesting!
> Anything you can add to my paltry storehouse of Sun-3 knowledge would be
greatly appreciated.
