- I recently acquired a Quadra 700 for my lab and I am setting up A/UX 3.0
- on it. All has gone pretty smoothly, and I am impressed with the system.
- I have, however, a few questions that one of the readers of this group
- will hopefully be able to answer for me.
-
- 1) I have set up set up nn 6.4.16, using the s-aux3.h header file which
- I snatched from "jagubox" (thanks guys!). I seem to have but one
- problem. I put a line to start up the daemon in /etc/rc:
-
- /usr/local/lib/nn/nnmaster -l -r -C
-
- as suggested in the docs, but no daemon ever gets forked. Nnmaster does
- start up all right, and perform the check on the database, but then it
- gets a hangup signal and just quits. Has anyone else seen this?
- Running the above command line once loged on works just fine.
-
- 2) I am in fact upgrading both machine and O/S - from a IIsi running
- A/UX 2.0.1. I couldn't resist trying out 3.0 on the IIsi first. Well,
- things are pretty slow on a IIsi, especially the Mac OS. Still, I would
- like to buy a right to copy and run 3.0 on both machines. So I
- thought a performance upgrade in the form of a DayStar Universal
- PowerCache at 50 MHz would be a smart move. Does anyone have an opinion?
-
- 3) With regard to slowness - printing on a StyleWriter under A/UX really
- brings a IIsi to its knees - even with driver 7.2.2. Can I expect this
- to improve with such an upgrade?
-
- Thanks for your help.
