So you used another Sun3 to build an install kernel, correct ?

How long does it take you to build your kernel.... I had a make running
for like 2-3 days... then it blew up on my attempt to get a cgeight driver
in there :-)

I have two 3/50s (one needs a power supply, and its mainboard may be flaky
too), two 3/80s (I thought one was bad, but I found out the simms were in
the wrong banks !!!  the errors didn't give me any clue that this was the
problem !).  I also have a 3400 cpu board and memory board, etc.. .but I
need a VME chassis better than a X/X10 in order to set it up.
(Well, I suppose I could do the cpu board and a 32 meg memory board in a
X/X10 chassis, and just run it diskless... but I've got VME grahipcs boards,
more memory boards, and a sun-3 scsi board.... so it would make a nice
classic best of breed sun-3 (68030-33 ! wow ! :-) ).

I wish I had schematics for the clock circuit in the 3/80.  There is
a jumper to run the 68882 at 40 mhz instead of 20, so if I could change
the clock wiring a tiny bit, I could have that same jumper run the clock
for both chips, and upgrade the chips to 40mhz parts, and have a twice
as fast 3/80 (upgrading it from sssslllloooowwww to ssllooww :-) ).

Anyone got a X/X50 VME chassis they would part with ?
