If you are one of the three people still working on SunOS systems, you have likely tried to change libc to support DNS directly, vs. the default NIS support for name resolution. The Sun document SRDB ID: 3886 doesn't work correctly for 4.1.4 systems, and likely doesn't fully work for any system...

If you want to make a clone of the 530-1814 cable, just wire two 8-pin 0.1 inch pcb mount headers with about 9cm of thin wire as follows, see the photo of the real cable - basically pin 1 -> pin 1 etc. A 1-1 mapping, except that in reality, the cable is rotated 180 degrees due to the orientation...

I've answered this myself by actually finding a genuine 530-1814 cable - I'll post the wiring soon, but basically it's a 1-1 mapping with a 180 degree twist. What hadn't occurred to me was that the 501-1823 isn't actually designed to fit in the IPX (duh - that's why it's called a Sparcstation 2...

Hi - I have one of these boards, but no flex cable to attach it to the motherboard. I've tried a home built cable, with 1-1 mapping, but the system failed to start up. Any advice, wiring diagram, photos of a real cable?? Thanks in advance! Simon

Does anybody have a user manual/programmers manual for the WY-150 they could share? thanks, Simon

Hi, Does anybody have a copy of SWTPC 8K basic they could share with me. I'd even take a paper listing if necessary. Simon
