I was hoping to just emulate it for now to avoid potentially bad hardware, but seems like I need to use the real hardware to avoid potentially bad software! :)
Ah cool. I was at a friend's brother's house on a work trip out to Silicon Valley. One of his friends was there, with something amazing running in QEMU. It was a work in progress, but he said that there were a lot of issues because QEMU was too accurate in emulating the MIPS procressors and in addition to this, there was bugs in his former employer's hardware that had software work-arounds in the real OS. So when trying to run that OS on the emulated system the accuracy worked against him.
The NVRAM is totally dead; I've been reloading the IDPROM contents each time. I've already ordered replacement NVRAMs from China; we'll see how they do. Otherwise, I'll be going with the filing/coin cell trick.
Interesting. Are they no longer made? I should get one for my Voyager.
Not sure; but, I can say, I've got SunOS 4.1.3 finally installed, and am now looking at a sparse SunView desktop.
Very cool
Trying to build MazeWar results in: ld: Undefined symbol ___bb_init_func DREG_SEG *** Error code 2 Not sure yet what to look for, but the source does say it was tested on SunOS 3.1 and 3.4. So, I am trying to compile it on something a bit later.
Sun compiler I assume and not a GCC? -- : Ethan O'Toole
