[comp.sys.hp] SUN 3E - HP 835 connection

peter@astol.ASTRO.LU.SE (Peter Linde) (12/22/88)

We are going to connect a SUN 3E (Eurocard) to an HP 835 via Ethernet.
The SUN card sits in a CONTEXTVISION GOP-302 image processing system.
We have heard that the SUN 3E card is known to be somewhat difficult
to integate into other systems, due to hardware problems.

- Does anyone have experience (good or bad) with 3E cards?
- Does anyone know if a 571 Mb HP disc sitting on an HP 835 can be
  transparently used via NFS from such a SUN?

I have no experience with a Sun 3E card, but as far as NFS on the HP835
goes, you should be able to mount it just fine on a Sun.  Also note
that long file names are optionally available on the 835.

> long file names are optionally available on the 835.

Lest anyone misunderstand, "optionally" means at the system
administrator's discretion on a per-filesystem basis (not "at extra
cost").  Short filename filesystems can be used to maintain
compatibility for older applications.  This applies to all series 800
and series 300 hardware.
