<p>I fired up my 320 (for the first time in a couple years).</p>
<p>I tried taking one of the (6) DIMMs out and the system booted
fine. It turns out that I have 2.5.1 installed on it.</p>
<p>I also tried to boot it with a Ross 133MHz hyperSPARC mbus
module. The PROM is Axil 320 specific (it says "320" on the label)
and is version 2.19. It does not boot:</p>

Ross afsr 0 Ross afar fc47c0 <br>

<p>... repeated until I powered down the system.</p>

I would try it with just a single CPU module at
a time (both of them, one at a time) - MBus
modules are all very old now, and I've had an
MBus module die completely before.<br>

<pre><div dir="auto">Got the Axil 320 and CPUs in today.
I've plugged in my dell flatscreen with a sun type 13w3->VGA adapter,
Type 5 keyboard and mouse, and ethernet cable. There are 5 memory
DIMMS (one in slot 0 marked 64mb, others unmarked). I pulled the
single 90mhz/256cache cpu and put in the 2 147s. I haven't gotten the
ZuluSCSI yet but hoped to get to the prompt.
No such luck.
I do get a single beep from the keyboard, all the led's flash once and
then nothing more. The most concerning thing is that one of the three
fans - the one closest to where the drives are - isn't spinning - and
there is as sort of undulating sound like going up and down. I let it
run for a good 15 minutes in case of dead NVRAM but still nothing came
up on video.
I presume the next thing is to get a serial cable from A/B on the back
to my PC? Anything special I'll need for that? Then just any linux
terminal emulator should do.
William
