I have a question concerning SunOS 4.0.
Here is the current scenario:
We are running SunOS 3.5 on a Sun 3/160. We are using the Sun 3 SCSI Host
Adaptor Board. If there is a version number associated with the board I
do not know it. I will try to find one. The software that we are using
with the board is sc.c (SCCS version 1.6). Using Sun SCSI, We have
successfully integrated a Hitachi Optical Disk Drive with the system.
The problem is this:
We can only read 63K blocks at a time, and are unhappy with this
performance. We have been told this is not a problem with SCSI, but in
fact a problem with the Sun 3.
My question is:
If this is true, does SunOS 4.0 solve this problem?
Please reply or followup if you have any information or questions
pertaining to this problem.
Thanks in advance.
