'eieio'
Series6/701
128MB RAM
MCAB
Cougar SCSI
15 Toshiba CDROM drives
several crummy disks and 1 good one
4 SCSI channels:
I/O board
MCAB SCSI
2 on the Cougar
2 ethernets
I/O Board
MCAB enet
We have the following controllers/boards/chassis:
- Chassis's
- Series 500
- Series 600
- Series 700
- Series 900
- Series 810 (SCSI box)
- CPU and I/O boards
- Series4 cpu (none in use)
- Series5 cpu (none in use)
- Series5E cpu
- Series6 cpu
- Series6E cpu
- MCAB
- AJ - DR rev I/O Boards
- Memory
- 16MB
- 32MB
- 128MB
- 256MB
- S4000 Memory Expander board
- S3000 Memory Expander board
- Video/FrameBuffer
- bw2 (SBus)
- sga20 (SBus)
- sga40 (SBus - none in use)
- cg30
- cg40 (none in use)
- Disk Controller
- Interphase 4220 "cougar" SCSI
- Xylogics 753 SMD (not presently in use)
- Xylogics SV7800 IPI controller
- Networking and Communications
- Interphase 4221 FDDI (not presently in use)
- Xylogics 781 MUX
- Interphase 4207 "eagle" ethernet
- Sun X453A ethernet (SBus)
Things we don't have:
(hint, if you have one you don't need...)
- 512MB Memory boards
- 2GB Memory boards (Matsushita is the only one)
- KBus floppy controller (non-production)
- Series7 cpu (non-production)
- KBus Interconnection system
- don't know how far this got
in development, but it was a system that interconnected KBus chassis'
to expand the number of usable slots. I could sure use one
to link 2 /900s together to get more than 1GB RAM, you know ;-}
- Series6 using an MBUS module instead of onboard CPU/MXCC
- if anyone has tried this, please let me know. I've been tempted
to buy a Sun SM41 MBUS module to try it out. This is how
they tested the Series6 boards when sampling on the Viking chips
was low and Solbourne had only a single Viking chipset.
Individual members of CSOps have the following system types for
personal home machines:
- S3000
- S4000
- S4000DX
- Series5/501
- Series5E/501
- Series6/501
- Series6/601
