When I first got my Sparc IPX and booted it up, it told me that the NVRAM was dead, etc. I've dealt with this before, so I bought a new NVRAM chip from Mouser Electronics. The only problem was, once I installed the new chip and reprogrammed it, the system still didn't boot properly. When I turn it on, it stops and says that the POST failed, and I should replace the NVRAM. It also only checks 1M of RAM, although there is 64 in the system. If I tell the system to boot from the OpenBoot prompt, it works fine after that, but will never automatically boot the OS.
The replacement NVRAM I bought was the 200ns variety. I remember reading somewhere that the IPX is picky, and only accepts one of the available speeds for the NVRAM chip. Unfortunately, despite much searching on Google and Google Groups, I can't find which speed chip I want. Can anyone help me out with this? I'd appreciate it. /Owen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
