i found this operation described in original DG manuals on their website too,
there are few obsoleted documents for software and hardware produced by DG:

1) Power on the machine.
2) Wait approximately ten minutes.
3) Press 'reset'.
4) Wait a further thirty seconds.
5) Type <CTRL>-V on the console keyboard. The machine should beep.
6) Type '1' to set the video system to 70 Hz sync or '2' for 60 Hz.
thank a lot. this solved my problem, card was set to 70 Hz instead of 60 Hz
suitable for Sony GDM 1601/8. now it is working fine, i did it through serial
console. but.. (yes, another but ;)) i got this machine without
any keyboard. connector
looks like PC DIN one but has more pins, i have no DIN keyboard here now to
test it so i want to ask if it will work and if not, what for a keyboard i
need to have (or is there any hack possible?), thanks
i realized that standard PC AT 101 should be enough from those docs.
i fell into another problem.. it looks like my AViiON machine's battery ran
out of power and any change in SCM is discarded after boot. each time i boot
up i need to set graphics card's output frequency to 60Hz and system date is
different. i searched for location of battery in manuals and i tried to find
it on board -- without any success. do someone know where is system battery
located? is it manufactured like sun's nvram chips in prom itself? thank you
for any hint..
regards,
