715/33 experience and one question (fwd)
|Right, the 715 has neither DINO nor LASI. The chips inside are labelled |OLIN and SHINKO. http://www.thepuffingroup.com/parisc/hp9000_models.html |has no details on these chips. Alex tells me he's trying to get |documentation on these chips, but I'll have to be patient. The major |stumbling block with these machines is likely to be the SCSI controller |-- it's an NCR53C700 which is apparently a very nasty device; much more |nasty than the 710 which is built into LASI. | |In my copious spare time, I'm stumbling through the Utah Mach sources, |trying to glean details about OLIN and SHINKO but I've had no success |so far.
Whoops. My previous comments about ASP apply to the even earlier machines (720/730/735). I also didn't know about the differences between 5sC700 and 53C710.
I'm sure we've got this data stashed away SOMEWHERE...
