		<description><![CDATA[I had a customer recently call me with a &#8220;bus fault&#8221; when he was trying to probe-scsi-all from the ok prompt. On separate occasions, I had sold him an Ultra 5 and a Dual Differential SCSI card (part# 375-0006) and he had just recently installed the SCSI Card into the Ultra 5 with the aforementioned [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This tutorial came about as a result of an order we filled for an AnySystem.com client. The client ordered nine Sun Ultra 5 Desktops. The order called for all the machines to be identically configured, except that seven of them needed a QuadFast Ethernet PCI Card and a PGX32 Video Card and the other two [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A: Ask and you shall receive. Use this handy-dandy OpenBoot PROM or OBP Reference Guide courtesy of Sun Microsystems as a refresher. I didn&#8217;t write it, but it&#8217;s about as thorough and useful as it would be if I did. Remember, you can do some serious damage to your configuration if you don&#8217;t know what [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A: From the OK prompt (a.k.a. OBP or OpenBoot PROM) you need to setenv mfg-options to the right value. Summary: Get to the OK prompt. Set the mfg-options variable to the appropriate value. Set defaults and check that the value worked. Reset the machine. Detailed: 1) Get to the OK prompt. If you are still [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m trying to use vi, but instead of clearing the screen and allowing me to view my file, it jumbles the file and none of the commands react as expected; or in more general terms, &#8220;In console (command line) mode, I&#8217;m trying to use any application that requires use of the full screen (SunVTS, vi, etc) and when I launch it, it doesn&#8217;t correctly show the entire screen. It looks like a garbled version of the application I&#8217;m trying to use.&#8221;</title>

If you are, I&#8217;m not quite sure what the problem is, but this solution probably won&#8217;t help you. Still, you&#8217;re free to try.

		<description><![CDATA[A: Depending on which Sun machines you are connecting, you will need a certain type of null modem cable suited to that machine. Most older Sun machines (UltraSPARC II and some III) will require a DB25 male connector on the end. Newer ones (some UltraSPARC III and IV) will need RJ-45 serial connections.

Most Sun UltraSparc II-class machines will require a DB25 male connector on the Sun end. Sun&#8217;s UltraSPARC III-class and higher machines have a healthy mix of DB25 and RJ-45 connectors.
