210.0. "SCO UNIX on Rushmore/Atacama?" by GRIFUN::OLOBARDI (Marco- Tech.OEM Mktg-Italy) Mon Apr 14 1997 17:07

Hi,
any update on using SCO UNIX on Rushmore? 

Does it have any problem with bridges (for the larger 
backplanes)? 

Any problems with Atacama to use the SCSI NCR 810 
controller, as outlined in note 52 in July 96 
(with the I-bus Shark product I gather)? 

Thanks in advance.
Ciao ciao

210.1SCO UNIX kits in GermanySHRCTR::WADAMSWed Apr 16 1997 14:375
    Eric Gauthier received a SCO kit and was to test SCO UNIX and SCO Open
    Server.  I do not know the status of his efforts.
    
    Does your customer need the Rushmore product to be certified for SCO
    UNIX or just internally tested?

                Test Results DMCC and SCO OS
                ============================

   Peter Brittain and me did some testings on DMCC and SCO OS's. We did
   test
   the following HW:

        Backplane : Atacama
        SBC       : PIP10 (Rushmore)
        NIC       : DE200, DE203
        Graphic   : Standard VGA
        Disk      : RZ28
        CD        : RRD43
        Memory    : 32 MB
        
   SCO UnixWare 2.1.1
   ------------------

        Installable     : Yes

        Notes

        Only the DEC EtherWorks Turbo (DE20x) NIC seems to 
        be supported from the OS. No drivers for additional 
        Digital NIC's found.


        SCO Open Server Version 5.0
        ---------------------------     
        
        Installable     : Yes

        Notes 

        The installation procedure did not recognis
        the NCR Onboard controller.  Additional drivers 
        (slha) included in the BTLD which are either
        part of the distribution or available on the net 
        at ftp://ftp.sco.com/AHS/5.0/sco/5.2 had to 
        be linked to the kernel. Using the link command
        at the "boot:" prompt.

        No Digital NIC's are supported by default
        from SCO OpenServer but there are drivers
        available under
        <a
   href="http://npbwww.hpn.lkg.com/dr/nics/drivers.">http://npbwww.hpn.lkg.com/dr/nics/drivers.</a>
   <pre>        For some Digital NIC's only LLI drivers are 
   </pre>
        available. 

        After the OS  installation the drivers have to
        be installed in 'maintenance mode' (aka single-user
        mode) with the 'installpkg' command.

Thanks for info.
The customer shouldn't need a "formal" certification, just the fact that it works. 
We'll try to understand a bit better if they will have any special needs or 
something that could cause more problems.
Ciao ciao
