This is an attempt at providing a comp.sys.sun.hardware FAQ. I've
compiled in many articles' worth of information which I've collected
from c.s.s.h over the years. It is by no means complete, (or
guaranteed correct) however, and I'd welcome a bit of "filling in the
gaps." Having said that, I also make no promises to update and
regularly post this FAQ. I'll do what I have time for.
Please help fill in some gaps with your knowledge. More information
on memory expansion & SIMM requirements is desired, for instance.

-----------------------------------
Here's a general list of machines:
(Generally: X60 machines are desk-sides, X80 machines are rack-mount)
Sun 1's
These are the large black desktop boxes with 17" monitors. Used
the original Stanford-designed video board. Uses a parallel
microswitch keyboard and parallel mouse
100 Used design similar to original SUN (Stanford University Network)
CPU, version 1.5 CPU could take larger RAMS. Pre-dates Sun's 4.2
port (ran Unisoft V7) (68010 CPU instead of SUN's 68000) 10Mhz.
100u "Brain transplant" for 100 series. Replaces CPU and memory card
with first-generation Sun2 CPU and memory boards so original customers
could run SunOS V1. (Still has parallel kb/mouse intf so old kbds
would work.)
170 Rack-mounted server. Slightly different chassis design than 2/170's
Sun 2's
2/120 Multibus-based 68010 10Mhz. First machines that had desk-side chassis
Serial Microswitch keyboard, Mouse Systems Optical mouse. 8Mb memory
max. Cards are CPU, 1 or 4 meg memory board, ethernet board, SCSI
board, 640 * 480 color board, monochrome video board, SMD controller,
tape controller, 16 port serial mux (ALM-1)
Two variants of video board, one generated TTL-level video, on ECL.
Later video boards ("2prime") could generate either levels. Early
19" mono monitors (philips or moniterm) could be switched as well.
2/170 Rack-mounted Multibus chassis server
2/50 VME Sun2 style CPU 2 slot chassis. Optional SCSI board (model name
is SCSI-2; 2'nd SCSI design.. first was for 2/1xx's) sat on mem
expansion board in 2nd slot. CPU board had 1,2,or 4 megs mem, 10Mhz
68010 CPU, ethernet, two serial ports. Memory expansion boards
are 1,2 or 4 megs as well.
The (type-2) keyboard and mouse attached via an adapter that
accepted 2 modular plugs and attached to the DB15 port.
2/160 First machine to use 12 slot desk-side VME chassis. Many have CPU
upgrades to 3/160's. Had 4 fan cooling tray instead of 6 in later
machines, thus cooling problems with lots of cards. Also only had
4 P2 memory connectors bussed instead of 6.
SunOS 4.0.3 was the last release with Sun2 support
2/1xx's with a monochrome display can only have 7megs max, since the
frame buffer appears in the 8th meg
Sun 3's
3/160 First 68020 based Sun machine. Uses "Carrera" CPU, which is used
in lots of other Sun3 variants. 4Mb on-board memory. Sun's mem
expansion goes on 4 Meg memory expansion boards; third parties had
up to 32 megs on one card. SCSI was optional. One variant of the
memory card held the 6u VME SCSI board, other version sat in slot7
of the backplane and ran the SCSI out the back of the backplane to
the internal disc/tape. CPU has 2 serial, ethernet, kbd ports.
3/75 2 slot desktop chassis, optional SCSI sits in 2nd slot on mem exp bd.
3/140 3 slot chassis
3/150 6 slot chassis
3/180 12 slot rack-mount chassis
3/110 similar to Carerra CPU, but has 8 bit color frame buffer on board and
uses 1meg rams for 4meg on-cpu memory. 3 slot VME chassis.
Code-named "Prism".
3/50 15.7MHz cpu, cycle-stealing monochome frame buffer. 4mb mem max (3rd
party mem expansions boards were sold, though) No bus. On board SCSI.
Code-named "Model 25".
3/60 20Mhz 020 cpu, VRAM monochome frame buffer. optional color frame buffer
(could run mono and color from same board) on special P4 connector.
No bus. On board SCSI. SIMM memory up to 24mb (100ns * 9 SIMMS).
High (1600*1100) or low (1152*870) resolution mono selectable by jumper.
"GX" frame buffer also was avail. Code-named "Ferrari".
3/60LE A limited version of the 3/60 with no on-board framebuffer. It also
is limited to 12MB of RAM (4MB of 256KB SIMMs and 8MB of 1MB SIMMs).
3/260
3/280 25MHz 68020. 2 serial ports, enet, kb on CPU. High resolution mono only.
No CPU board memory (space taken up with a cache). Memory boards in 8
meg increments. "Sun4" 32meg boards work (at least for the first 32
megs, never had more than one to try 64...) Memory boards from earlier
machines cannot be used.
First Sun with an off-chip cache; 64KB, write-back, direct-mapped,
virtually-indexed and virtually-tagged, with 16-byte lines.
For the above Sun 3's, the (type 3) keyboard plugged directly in
to the DB15 connector. The (type 3) mouse plugged into a modular
jack on the keyboard.
3/80 68030 CPU. Similar packaging to SparcStation 1. The 030 machines were
actively marketed, since Sun had decided to drop the Sun3 line soon
after the machines were announced.
The 3/80 has a 68030 running at 20 Mhz and a 68882 at 20 or 40 Mhz,
parallel printer port, SCSI port, 15 pin Ethernet, 3.5 inch 1.44 meg
floppy drive, P4 video bus connector, room for 16 megs of SIMM ram.
No onboard framebuffer. Code-named "Hydra".
The 3/80 came with a type-4 keyboard & mouse, plugged together and
into the machine with a small DIN plug.
3/470
3/480 Uses a 68030 and 68882 at 33Mhz, and has a P4 slot.
These are fairly rare. Code-named "Pegasus".
SunOS 4.1.1 was the last release with Sun3 Support
Sun 4's
4/260
4/280 First SPARC CPU board; can replace the CPU in 3/260's or 3/280's.
Similar cache to 3/2xx. Code-named "Sunrise".
4/110 First desk-top SPARC. CPU doesn't support VME bus master cards, so
DMA disc and tape boards won't work with it. Really intended as single-
board machine. Has on board SCSI, 2 serial ports, enet, kbd. "P4" frame
buffer could be monochrome or color. Used "static column RAM" rather
than a conventional cache. Code-named "Cobra".
4/330
4/370
4/390 Faster, has on-board SCSI, more serial ports, and accepts SIMMS.
Similar cache to 4/2xx, only write-through. Code-named "Stingray".
4/4xx Write-back rather than write-through cache, 64 MMU contexts,
3-level rather than 2-level Sun-style MMU, 33 MHz CPU chips.
Code-name "Sunray" (which was also the code name for the 7C601 CPU).
Sparcstations:
SS1 (4/60): code-name "Campus" or "Campus-1".
SS1+ (4/65): code-name "Campus B".
SLC (4/20): code-name "Off-Campus".
IPC (4/40): code-name "Phoenix".
SS2 (4/75): code-name "Calvin".
ELC (4/25): code-name "Node Warrior", as I remember.
IPX (4/50): code-name "Hobbes".
The SparcStation 1, 1+, and 2 all have similar "small pizza-box" packaging.
(The SS2 case is slightly larger and has more ventilation, i.e. fans).
All have 3 S-Bus slots.
The IPC and IPX have the "lunch box" packaging.
Both have 2 S-Bus slots. The IPC has a built-in mono framebuffer.
The IPX has a GX-accelerated color framebuffer.
The SLC and ELC have the "it's all in the monitor" packaging.
Both have 0 S-Bus slots. Both are also very quiet - no fans!
The monitor is 17" monochrome.
The SS1, 1+, 2 & IPC all use X9 30-pin SIMMs [speed?].
The SLC, ELC and IPX use X33 SIMMs.
Other Sparcs:
Sun-4E: SPARCengine 1E, basically an SS1 (or maybe SS1+, I'm not sure
what the clock rate is) with a VME interface and 8K rather than 4K
pages; sold as a VME board. Code name "Polaris".

Guy's notes:
SF9010 and MB86900 are the same chip; Fujitsu just changed the name.
The FPU on the 4/2xx and 4/1xx consists of a Fujitsu MB86910 FP
controller (formerly the "SF9010FPC", or maybe some other "SF" number),
plus Weitek 1164/1165 floating-point arithmetic chips.
SPARCsystem 4xx: CPU is 33 MHz 7C601, FPU is probably TI 8847, there may
be more VM per process, 64 contexts.

[please fill in details on older monitors]
Monitors in general come in two flavors: ECL or analog (video-level).
All color monitors are analog, as are newer monochrome monitors.
Older monochrome monitors (pre-Sparcstation) were ECL.

Section 5: Misc. questions
Can I put 4MB SIMMs in a 3/80?
If you have v3.02 or later of the boot proms you can install 40MB.
Install 4M x 80ns SIMMS in the low order memory slots (1+5, 3+7)
and 1M x 80ns SIMMS in the remaining slots, for a total of 8 ea.
4 MB and 8 ea. 1 MB SIMMS = 40 MB.
If you have earlier versions of the proms you are stuck at 16 MB
unless you can get a Sun F/E to upgrade them.
Rom v3.0.2 has known problems with booting from QIC-150 tape drives.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Keyboard info:
What do the DIP switches underneath the Type 4 and 5 keyboards do?
There are several different layouts for the Type 4 and Type 5 keyboards,
for different countries, as well as for the Magical Land of UNIX :-)
(the Type 5 has, in addition to the various national layouts, a "UNIX
layout" which puts Control and Esc, at least, where God intended them to
be :-) :-) :-)).
So that the OS/window system can correctly set up its tables for mapping
raw keystation codes to key "identifiers", the keyboard can be sent a
command asking what layout it has; it will send back a reply indicating
the "layout code" for its layout. The KIOCLAYOUT "ioctl" (see KB(4M) in
the SunOS 4.1[.x] documentation or "kb(7)" in the SunOS 5.x
documentation) can be used by a program to cause the command to be sent
to the keyboard and its result obtained.
The keyboard layout is specified by 6 of the 8 DIP switches, on a Type
4, as I remember (I think it's also 6 of 8 on the Type 5). The DIP
switch on the other end of the switch pack, on a Type 4, can be set to
cause the microprocessor in the keyboard to report that it is a Type 3
keyboard, for the benefit of old PROMs or old OSes that don't know about
Type 4 keyboards; that switch may do that on a Type 5 as well.
Type 5's report that they're Type 4's; they're just set to have
different layout codes.
To see what the layout code is for a given layout, check out the files
in "/usr/share/lib/keytables"; a file with the name "layout_XX" is for a
keyboard with a layout code of hex XX.
On a Type 4, as I remember from the keyboard spec, the one remaining
switch does nothing; dunno what it does on a Type 5.
On the Type 4, as I remember, if you have the bottom row of the keyboard
toward you and the keys pointing down, the leftmost switch is the "Type
3 vs. Type 4" switch, and the 6 on the right are the layout switches;
dunno which switches are which on the Type 5.
(NOTE: the UNIX-layout keyboard doesn't have its own layout code;
instead, I suspect the switch-to-keystation translation map in its
microprocessor is different from that for other Type 5's, so that it
looks to the software like, I think, a US-layout keyboard.)
