1938.0. "How to tell Powerstorm 4D40t from 4D50t" by NNTPD::"[email protected]" (Bernard Chitty) Wed Apr 23 1997 11:21

Hi,

I lay a 4D50T and a 4D40T side by side, and they look identical. Anybody know
how to tell them apart by looking? If not, where in NT and Unix can I see info
abt the model of card? I've seen in NT it says "Powerstorm 4D 40/50..."
something like that, which dosen't clear the ambiguity.

Rgds,
Bernard

1938.1Tiny Little Model NumberWRKSYS::DOTYRuss Doty, Graphics and MultimediaThu Apr 24 1997 10:085
    If you look CLOSELY on tha back of the board, you will find a tiny
    sticker with 1 point (OK, 3 point...) type on it that says MMTxxx
    where xxx is a three digit number.  The 4D40T and 4D50T are different.
    I can't remember which is which, and I'm on the road at the moment
    but I'll look it up and report back.

    If the board is *in* a functional UNIX system, you can use
    the command /usr/sbin/sizer -gt
    
    If it returns "p00e41091" you have a PS 4D50T
    If it returns "p00e21091" you have a PS 4D40T
    
    if it returns something else, you have something else.
    
    On an NT system, you can't tell except from the sticker.  File a PTT
    and ask that the driver be enhanced to tell you the difference.
