What? You're kidding. It's the 2004-2009 one.

@vishnu I bought the DVD version too. But now that it's back up on HULU - I watch it there; more convenient.

I have an Octane that is failing miserably.

This error is with the Video card fitted and removed & the system disks removed, so I suspect the other board or the front pane.

So, tonight I receive an email from Amazon.. and email from an address I cannot respond to.. it read:

So.. I like millions of people will use the same account type information for may things, it's a complete data protection fsck up!!

It took 20 mins to find a contact Amazon page to complain and a further 20 mins to contact the BBC!! I want out of this digital world... (except ebay).

Really? I know we all love IRIX, but is there some rose tinted glasses involved in that statement?

Is it possible to fire up your Octane with no graphics card installed at all?
I'm wondering as, if the card is faulty, and therefore I pull the card, I get the same error.
I have tried a new CPU, different memory, all fans I can see seem to be spinning OK.

Before you start looking for that particular jumper: please be careful with pulling out the mainboard, you will risk zapping it if it is still on mains. What i always do is turn it off, then unplug the cable and wait for at least half an hour before you do anything. This way you let the Power Supply capacitors lose their charge.

If the jumper is not set and the machine still powers on when on mains try to enter the console, either with monitor and keyboard or a serial connection and reset the firmware environment with 'resetenv'


You may want to printenv first, and make note of the OSLoadpartition stuff. If you get that far.. :cry:

I think I have the time machine that George Orwell left here in the loft.

Joking aside, the environment for a smoke/flame is set up that way for a reason, I know it's a pain, but hey ho pip and dandy..

Does flame still work?

A smoke/flame setup is worth keeping, so you may want to dual boot it with another disk. I can help you with this after you have a fresh install (on another disk), but I can't take the credit, that (from my perspective) goes to Ian Mapleson.

Open the front flap on my Fuel and it has very nice matching dark grey SUN DVD & SUN DDS... well it did. Then the flap fell off the DDS!!!

So I've purchased a new black DVD drive and a black LTO2 drive. I had found a SUN Dat72 which would have been nice, but I ummed and arrrd too much and missed out and the SUN LTO's are all double height. So for about £40 I purchased the 2 black drives. Looking forward to fitting them I am.

Wrote on the subject of Missing CDROM icon at March 1, 2016, 1:39 p.m...
Yesterday I replaced my DDS with an LTO2 & my SUN DVD with a new one that came from an IBM system (unsure what IBM system) & fitted a DM10.

All went well, only took 2 attempts to get the jumpers not conflicting and both work and look really nice.

But the CDROM ICON is missing from the desktop. The drive works perfect, I can navigate to it via command line and also via fm.

The DVD id is 3 8 (I thought they only went up to 7, shows how long it's been since I messed with SCSI).

hinv shows the DVD up fine also. Where's my ICON gone?

So I took the drive out and investigated more. It has some pcb on the back, which I thought nothing about at first, and the pins seem to miss a termination option.
Googling it, it turns out this is an IDE DVD with an ACARD IDE to SCSI convertor, model 7722.
http://dl.acard.com/manual/english/7722(E).pdf

The drive cost £18, I'm unsure to send it back since the Adapter seems rather interesting.

So I've put a DAT72 in the mean time.

The only downside to that adapter is that its SCSI connector is a 68-pin and according to Jan-Jaap, the Fuel has a 50-pin specially for the DVD-ROM connection. If the AEC-7722 can be forced to do narrow SCSI and if you can get a 68 to 50 pin converter, you can hook it up and check if it's working.
The AEC-7722 manual does state that the adapter doesn't perform SCSI to IDE conversion for control commands, so some functions like DVD-burning (if the drive is capable of that) probably doesn't work.

Popped the SUN DVD back in and all is well again.. well apart from the colours, I suppose I will have to keep the flap closed.

Both the LTO and DVD where on the same LVD 50 pins on SCSI 0 QL12160. Now though, The SUN DVD is a Low voltage 50 pins SCSI connector (oblong).

So what to do with the IDE-SCSI Convertor... ah.. :shock: WTF http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ACARD-AEC-7722-68-Pin-LVD-SCSI-to-IDE-Bridge-/261323017439?hash=item3cd810ccdf:g:DLYAAOSwPhdVGckA

Today arrived a firewire capable of reaching my AJA loLA & loLD so I was able to start my video in testing. I presumed the AJA would output a stream of video, but had to get over the bridge of it being recognized first. I also connected a Panasic Mini DV camera.

I shutdown the machine, connected it all up and all seemed good.

OK So far so good, I then compiled all the dmedia tools. To run though I needed the location.. so mlquery -d all

Code: Select all

fuel01 36# mlquery -d all

DEVICE: nullXcode
parent: fuel01.
index: 0
version: 1.0
location: Software Null Xcode Device
xcodes: nullXcodeMemoryToMemoryCopy,
nullXcodeMemoryClear

Nothing.. OK so, I could sort of see why the AJA may have a problem, but the MiniDV ?

I have restarted mldaemon a few times times, plus a complete shutdown when I change device.

Any ideas?

[Edit] running mlquery on its own indicates it no installed devices

mlquery on my Octane2 shows
xt-digvid:1
nullXcode:0

Whereas on the Fuel just shows nullXcode.

I have installed 6.5.21_dmediapro_dm10_1.0.1 (DMediaPro DM10 Execution Environment 1.0.1 for IRIX) is there a later version?

You only changed the PSU? That should not be a problem if the original Indigo worked fine. If that is all you changed, then no reconfiguring should be needed.. Saying that, I have known PSU's 'just' working, that is, I've known devices likes SCSI - Disk not working because the PSU gave minimal power.

The Matsushita camera should work, at least.

Nice one Mr Classic, I missed that snippet and thought I was indeed installing the latest..

So I have better news, it is indeed picking up something (I'm guessing at the moment it's the Panasonic/Matsushita).
