Getting more from the Sun4M ???
Dear SPARC Debianers,
I have 2 hardware/driver requests regarding to a LX and a 10SMP:
1) Is it possible to run the SCSI connection with a higher speed?
NCR53C9XF can (as I know ???) and the Harddisk is a 10MByte/s
model from Seagate (others also tried)?
ST1480 supports SCSI-2 (up to 10MB/s as far as I know)?
2) In the NetBSD/sparc doc I have found, that the Sun4m series
contain the AMD Lance 7990 network chip (not seen in the LX ???)
Does this chip supports 10MBit/s in full duplex mode?
How anybody can configure it.
Here is a part from my dmesg output
esp0: IRQ 36 SCSI ID 7 Clk 40MHz CCF=8 TOut 167 NCR53C9XF(espfast)
