[SunRescue] 3/150 questions (plus some odd bits)

[Sam Creasey]

Well, I was recently the "winner" of a 3/150 courtesy of ebay....
However, when the thing arrived, it appeared to contain 2 Sun3's crammed
into a single 3/150 chassis. :)

The full chassis contained (in order)

501-1206 3/2xx CPU
501-1102 8M 3/2xx memory
(something) Sun3 scsi card
501-1208 3/1xx CPU
(something) CG3
(something) Sun2 scsi card

Obviously, it didn't boot like this... :)

The 3/1xx board seems to boot fine if I take the 3/2xx board out of the
chassis....

Question about the 3/1xx motherboard:

Is it possible to get this board to use any additional memory cards on the
VME bus?  Placing the 8M board into the chassis still causes only the 4
megs on the 3/1xx CPU board to be tested in the prom....

Question about the 8M memory expansion:

Anyone know what the lights on the back of this thing mean?  I can
describe them if needed...  This board doesn't actually seem to do shit
except turn on the "CPU" and "DIS" lights when it has power.

Question about the 3/2xx motherboard:

This board does not appear to work.  Upon booting it, the PROM resets
itself during the selftest after reaching "Memory Path Data Test".  Is
this because the 8M memory board isn't showing up?  or a more serious
error?

Any useful information about any of these parts would be definately
appreciated.

kids, we'd all run around in a darkened room munching pills and listening to
repetitive music.
