HARDWARE DEVELOPERS HANDBOOK

This directory contains postscript files, which, taken together, make up the contents of the Hardware Developers Handbook. Since the complete postscript file for the Handbook was over 13 MB, it made sense to split it up into more manageable sized files.

The content of the `Chassis Tour' and `Interfaces' chapters were split up into files concerning a particular area of interest. For example, in the `Chassis Tour' chapter, the `pi.ps' file contains the overview of the Personal IRIS system including the I/O Panel areas for all the e-modules shipped with that system, while in the Interfaces chapter, the 'serial_ports.ps' file contains descriptions of all the Serial Ports used across the SGI product line.

There are two files, iris_tree.ps and periodic_table.ps that are formatted for TABLOID sized (11" x 17") paper. This makes viewing of these files with xpsview somewhat problematic. You won't be able to view the entire file, even when using the scaling capability of xpsview.

However, if you have ghostview, this allows setting a different page size (pick TABLOID) that will allow you to view the entire file.

We are working on new files that will conform to the 8 1/2" x 11" format and will view properly in xpsview. We expect to have these when the Toolbox goes onto the Web.
