Yes, has that cross section... it would have been much easier to tell
that if I wasn't forced to scan them on the flatbed scanner.
Lucky for me, my mini digital camera comes in tomorrow, so I can start
keeping it at work for these types of things.

There's also an update that IBM made that makes 3.1 have an OS/2 WPS
appearance. So much better that way!

Yes, the early PI's take standard 30-pin SIMMs.
To upgrade Indigo 4MB SIMMs, you need to find eight 514400 (or equivalent)
80ns DRAMs in 26/20-pin SOJ package, and eight SMD decoupling capacitors
(sorry, don't remember the value but such caps are usually about
100-200nF). The capacitors are fitted in positions marked C3, C4, C8, C9,
C12, C13, C17, C18 on the DRAM side, before the DRAMs (which cover them).
I thought I remebered changing a resistor on the other side (ASIC side) but
I just compared a 4MB to an 8MB, and they have the same resistors, so I
must have been thinking of something else.

Just got back from an auction. One of the things that I got in my lot was an Adtech AX/3000 Cell Data Generator. A quick Google search revealed that this is for generating and testing ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) data on T-1 through OC-3 networks. Can somebody give me a better expanation (in plain english!)? Also any suggestions of what I do with it?

>The MAC, for example,
I have been ignoring this, but I just can't any more.
Mac, as in Macintosh, as in the computer made by Apple Computer, is not
MAC or MacIntosh, or otherwise. It is either "Macintosh", "Mac", or "mac".
MAC (all caps) means something entirely different. (Media Access Control).
I know you like to make sure your grammer and spelling is correct, so I
figured I should point out the painfully mistake you have been making
thru all your conversations.
And now I return you to the regularly scheduled thread.

Yes. Window IS perfect proof of this. You will be hard pressed to find
people that use multiple different OSes including Windows, and honestly
believe Windows is the "best of the bunch". There are some, but then for
any idea, you will always find some that believe the idea is the best. (I
am discounting all arguments regarding having to use windows or any OS by
neccessity. If the app you need is only for one OS, you use that OS
regardless of if it is great or a peice of crap).
And of course you are missing the fact that most people are too ignorant,
and/or don't care enough to educate themselves to the fact that there ARE
viable alternatives, many of which are far superior.

The 4D20 and 4D25 used standard pc-type simms (w/parity),
the 4D/30, 4D/35 and R3K Indigo used an SGI proprietary
simm, identifiable by the large interleave controller chip
on one side of the simm. Did someone already mention that
you can only have 1 bank of 4Mb simms in a system, due to
a prom bug? There is no restriction on the number of other size
simms.

Unfortunately,
Bob Supnik's been unable to get them to budge on some HP2100
software, and effort by others to get them to free up the
Apollo copyrights have also seen no success.
Sad to say it, but it's always easier to say "no". Less
research involved...
