- After recently acquiring a handful of surplus, old SUN 3
- series equipment, I'm trying to set the system up
- but with a lack of documentation (these always seem to get lost
- when systems are transfered from place to place).
-
- We have pieces from two 3/160 systems with, I believe:
- xylogic 450/451 disk controllers (2 of them)
- CDC 9720-500 EMD disks (4 of them).
-
- The problem: I don't know how to hook them up, HELP!
- The controller board as many jumpers on them.
- Also, each disk has 18 DIP switches on the back, and
- a jack panel.
-
- Does anyone know what the jumper are for and how they should be set?
- Does anyone know what the DIP switches are for and how they should be set?
- What cable goes where?
- Where can I find the information for such an old system?
-
-
- Thanks
- Andrew
