Solaris vs AIX adapter support

Time to fire up a bong of the bluest blue. Can RS/6000 adapters be ported over to Solaris 2.6? The SCSI, SCSI w/cache, Corvette, and Passplay/Cheetah are directly supported.

Piotrek, there's eleven (11) screws holding the planar in. Look in the 8595 HMR.

Looking for a 95A chassis in EU

Hi! I bought a while ago a complete 95A without chassis for about 2 Euro. The system POSTs, but it's hard to use it without any enclosure: http://img21.imageshack.us/i/13850514.jpg/ It a nice config: an N-Y planar with the 90 MHz Cubrun and 96 MB RAM, the package also included a SVGA, DAC960M with 4x1MB SIMMs (the SCSI cables are unfortunately missing) and a Lanstreamer MC32. Unfortunately the case was scrapped, though the FRU 92F0267 399.1 W PSU is included (but without the molex cables. I also couldn't locate the LED and test-button at the top left corner?).

TP600 PCMCIA difficulties

Yup, I know it ain't PS/2...... TP600 trying to connect to my lan with a Cardbus PCMCIA by hard wire. The problem here is that the card is a Chinese Junker I picked up off the net......you know, the kind which the manufacturer is so goddamned ashamed of that he won't put his name on it. All it has is an imprint in the plastic bulge on the RJ45 end which says "lh008"......and googling brings up the number as PCMCIA Cardbus ethernet adapter but I can't find any drivers for Windows 98se (and yes, the card works fine with XP but this is my audio file machine and I can only run 98se

When are mice and keyboard ports the same?

Folks, I've looked at the HITR Keyboard and Auxiliary Device Controller Keyboard 101- and 102-Key And I'm confused, blue... The SDL keyboard cable I swept this morning has the PS/2 pins at 1 oclock and 5 oclock N/C. The HITR seems to imply the KB and mouse ports are the same, yet the auxiliary device controller info seems to show the three oclock and 11 oclock pins N/C. While my sweep of the SDL cable agrees with the HITR, there seems to be some murkyness. Is the difference in pins to keep a mouse vs KB swap issue?

IBMMuseum.com on a new server...

Look things over for Louis's pages (www.ibmmuseum.com/ohlandl), and report any issues. I have to decide how I will work things, because with a minimal amount of my content (and I will want to put up more later) it is almost a gigabyte (the limits on the hosting right now) in size. Soon I will give keys to the kingdom to Louis, where he can gain the stats on things like page visitations. David David@IBMMuseum.com

8560, Floppy Disk Drive

Well I've had a look inside. The head's foam pad/lid is unglued and has fallen off. However before I glue it back on; there is a blob of something I can only describe as translucent goo inside the head (i.e. under the cover which has fallen off). Is this normal? Ian

Resurrecting a Model 60?

I just posted a few hours ago on comp.sys.ibm.ps2 but I now see that this group is rather busier! I hope this is the right ng to post in and somebody can help me a bit :) I have a PS/2 Model 60 that I bought second hand in the early 90s as my first PC, it then went to my Mum as her first PC, then went into mothballs, and as far as I can recall hasn't been booted this century, but was working last time it was booted. Out of the desire to tinker I got it out this morning and gave it a go. It gets as far as displaying 01024 KB OK and then error code 1780, which the web tel

SpinRite on a Model 55

I ran SpinRite 1.0 on my 8555-081 and stupidly didn't suppress low- level formatting. I'm getting POST error 10483. Test on the Reference disk detects 0 fixed disks -says it's an ESDI controller error. The drive is spinning up just fine. Perhaps SpinRite is incompatible with the ESDI controller? SpinRite allegedly "withholds" low-level formatting if it can't bypass the sector translation scheme. Is there any way to low-level reformat the drive correctly again? I tried to run SpinRite again, but the drive doesn't show up when I boot from a floppy. Data on the hard drive is expendable. T

New info on the 6152?!

An 1988 article from InfoWorld mentions the Enigmatic 6152 Educational System!

Windows NT 4.0 on a PC 750 PCI/MCA?

I once tried to install this on my PC 750, but ended up getting a couple of blue screens of death. NT couldn't identify the computer as either a regular pc or a ps/2. Did IBM ever make some sort of installer program that would enable NT 4 to be put on these machines? I've been beating my brains out with Google searches, but can't find anything. Would greatly appreciate any help anyone can give on this. On an unrelated topic, is there any way to adjust the sound volume of the M-ACPA in Windows 98? Everything I've seen says not. Do I have to resign myself to jumping out of my chai

Replacement floppy drive for PS/2 Model 56, and moving an existing AIX PS/2 install to a new drive

I have a PS/2 9556 with a floppy drive that is getting intermittent read errors on known good disks (I checked the disks on another drive). Does anybody know where I can find a replacement drive, or know if I can fix the drive (an MF356C-799MA)? The same PS/2 has AIX PS/2 1.3 installed on a 1GB drive. I want to replace that drive with a 500MB drive and a 4.2GB drive. I want to move the existing AIX system from the 1GB drive over to the 4.2GB drive. I have no compatible tape drive and no compatible network card (there is an OC2335 installed, and I am trying to port the Linux driver t
