2930.0. "90t fails 900TM works...why?" by PTOJJD::DANZAK (Pittsburgher �) Tue Oct 31 1995 07:35

    Pittsburgh Supercomputer Center was installing some Macintosh systems
    to 10-T DECrepeater 90T units.  They did NOT work!  The MACs got
    excessive errors, etc., and barely were able to communicate.
    
    I brought a new 90T repeater, power supply and used standard BN24G(?)
    cables to no avail.  Terminated the thinwire connection too and used it
    as a stand-alone unit....no avail.
    
    THEN I used a DECrepeater 900 stand alone and it worked like a champ.
    
    WHAT is the difference between the 90T and 900TM that would cause this?
    
    Any clue?
    
    Totally baffled!

	This sounds a lot like note #2906... maybe the NICs are non-compliant. md
2930.2	Sounds reasonable.	PTOJJD::DANZAK	Pittsburgher �	`Wed Nov 01 1995 06:09`	4
	My guess is that is what the problem is.....so...hey....i'll go with it....thanks! j
