Thanks everyone. I've got a few interested people. I will email the first few to replay and the first person who agrees to take it gets it. I maybe a couple weeks before I can go get it and see what shape it is in. I't came from a place where one of my job titles was system admin for engineering

Paul, The VCFed museum (Wall NJ USA) could use the RA60 pack for its 11/44. I donated the 11/44 with a RA60 drive a few years ago, but I am unsure if an RA60-bootable pack came with it, most of what they got are just data packs IIRC. I personally don't have an RA60 Please advise and I can send

PDP11 media looking for a good home

Gentlepeople, I have two items that I'd like to send to a good home. That means, someone who can read the item in question and make it available so it's preserved. 1. A DECtape labeled "VT30 distribution for RSX11D V06-B". VT30 is a DEC CSS product, a color alphanumeric terminal. 2. An RA60

Generic Cassette interfaces (was: data cassette and robotic arms)

Yeah, I use a 13W3 adapter and a VGA Samsung SyncMaster LCD on my bench. The adapter is generic and happens to work on both Sun and SGI machines (as mentioned, this is not guaranteed). Thanks, Jonathan On Wed, Jan 10, 2018 at 7:03 AM, Jonathan Katz via cctalk < cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: >

Re: Getting Sun Sparcstation 10 to recognize its graphics card

Jonathan may be on to something here. I only deal with Sun stuff and am mostly unfamiliar with SGI stuff. However, I use LCD displays with 13W3-to-VGA adapters on my Suns and, relevant to this discussion, I know that the adapters used with Suns are different from the ones with SGIs, though I

Re: Getting Sun Sparcstation 10 to recognize its graphics card

SGIs did sync on green. Sun uses a dedicated signal. SGI trinitron-based (Sony OEM) monitors should handle both. If you boot your SS10 to the point where you think it is dead and then unplug/replug the keyboard it should bring you back to the “ok” prompt. Shows the system is still running OK

Re: Getting Sun Sparcstation 10 to recognize its graphics card

Freeze as in "screen stays blank (but pressing caps lock changes the LED)", or "system does not boot at all", or "system boots but locks up when initializing graphics"? I assume it's just the screen staying blank. Note that using an SGI monitor on a sun using a 13W3 to 13W3 cable will not work.
