Simply put, how do I do it?
I followed the directions graciously refered to by Ram and got Solaris 2.4
installed. I installed the entire distribution plus OEM support, so i'm
fairly certain _everything_ was installed. And now I'd like to get the GUI
up. I tried Xsun but that didn't work... it gave me a ">" prompt but I had
no idea what to do next...
Man, i really am a newbie, huh? ;-)
Thanks for all the help!
Drew

If the network cables are all inside the building and aren't too long,
they're probably fairly safe.

That was probably due to current induced in the serial lines. On campus,
we used to have lots of serial cards and terminals blow up every time there
was a big thunderstorm, because the outdoor cables ran in overhead ducts in
covered walkways. The network is usually fine, though (it's either
underground or fibre between buildings).

They probably weren't strikes on the line, just spikes induced by
near-misses. Phone lines, especially overhead lines, are like big antennae
during a thunderstorm. If you ever watch phone engineers working on
multicore cables when the skies darken during thunder season, you'll see
them getting away from the cable ends fast -- the induced spikes can be
quite spectacular.

Ahh, ok. Definitely no place for a PCMCIA card on this DS700 board.

Hey all,
I have (at home) an old Apple II of some sort that I picked up for free
>from my high school a few years back. The thing that attracted me to it
was the partially wooden case that it was in, which I thought was pretty
snazzy. I took some pictures a while ago, and finally got around to
putting them up on a website:
http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~rnlion/comp/apple.html
I'd like to know a bit more about this system, so if any of you Apple
enthusiasts could take a look and let me know if you've ever seen anything
like it, that would be great.
Thanks,
Rob Lion

Ahh, most kind. I just popped it open, though, and I don't see
anywhere that it might take any flash. There are two 72-pin SIMM
sockets in the left front area of the board, one of which has a SIMM
in it. What physical form of flash does DECserver 700 take?

Apple ][+'s do still turn up from time to time. But yes, not nearly as
often as they used to. Apple ]['s are pretty rare these days.
Apple //e's are almost as common as Commodore 64s.

I'd say that //c models are the next common model followed by the GS. of
course, the //c+ is the hard one to get.
For learning hardware, an Apple II or an Apple II+ is better since
the large custom chips (MMU and IOU) are not there; instead, almost
everything is generic TTL.
For software, I think the Apple IIe is better. The computer has much more
built-in capabilities (64K, 80-columns, lower case, better keyboard, etc).
The ROMs are replaceable with standard 27 series EPROMs.
I just picked up four Platinum IIes. The firmware is in one ROM (16KB,
27C128 compatible). I also have a SwyftCard. I am going to see if I can
convert the IIe into a Canon Cat. The show-stopper would be if the
SwyftCard uses lots of IIe ROM routines and I cannot fit it all into 16KB.
