Strictly speaking, I suppose this is true; I don't think
Symbolics *wants* to support this configuration. Nevertheless, it has
been done - our server, Zermatt, is a 3650 humming happily with 6 eagles
and a special 8X16 FEPIO board.
I'm not sure what the details of the mod are, but Symbolics
Maintenance does seem to cover it. We once had a new rep who didn't
know the board was special and swapped it with a normal one ... It ran
just fine, we just wouldn't have been able to format new drives.
? The normal SLB SMD IO board has only 2 disk slots. How did you manage
to connect 6 on a "Normal" board?
Typing in the bad block list for a new drive is hellish.
Try using an OCR on your Mac to move the numbers to ascii, then transfer
to zwei and double check.
