Re: [foxboro] AW51D second video card

Corey,

Were you using the older m64 video card (with 13W3 connector) or the newer
Raptor GFX video card (with HD15F connector)?

Older card with 13W3 connector reported as device /dev/fbs/m640 was Sun
PGX8 370-2256, X3660A
Newer card with vga (HD15F) connector reported as device /dev/fbs/gfxp0 was
Sun PGX32 370-3753, X3668A

I haven't seen them, but it's my understanding that later D boxes used
PGX64 cards with vga (HD15F) connector, reporting as device /dev/fbs/m640,
Sun 370-4362, X3768A

Hi list,
I unsuccessfully searched the list archives for this, and the Foxboro PSS
files on the CSC site are down at the moment, so I ask here:  anyone know
the Sun designation/part number for the second video card in an AW51D?

The reason I ask is that we have a small system here with two AW51Ds.  One
of them failed several weeks ago, and we ordered a replacement from
Foxboro.  The replacement failed last weekend.  Since there are only two
consoles, and we've lost some confidence in the reliability of the
replacements, we want to buy a spare from a 3rd party, so we can just swap
hard drives and go if we have another CPU failure.

TIA,
Corey Clingo
BASF Corp.
