SSA Adapter Front
The 4-D resembles the 4-G on the front as to components and layout. The
backs differ in the layout for J12-13 and the outlines for a big FPGA and LEDs.

SIMMs in J1 and J9
I have both slots filled with 4 MB SIMMs, 1Mx36 70 ns 5.0 V,
PN 82G6981. These have ten chips on one side of the PCB. There are 4 M514400C-70SJ
(data) and one M512200-70SJ (parity) on each half.
Light Pipes on D4 and D5
Both LEDs are normal LEDs on the PCB. There are light
pipes to transmit the light to the outside.
Each pair of connectors has a green light that indicates the operational
status of its related loop:
| Status |
Meaning |
| Off |
Both SSA connectors are inactive. If disk drives or other SSA adapters
are connected to these connectors, either those disk drives or adapters
are failing, or their SSA links are not active. |
| Solid |
The light is on continuously when power is turned on to the adapter
and both ports for that loop are operational; that is, the devices connected
next to the adapter in the loop have power turned on to them, are connected
correctly to the adapter, and are operational. |
| Slow Flash |
The light flashes continuously if one of the ports is not operational.
That occurs when the cable to that port is not connected correctly or the
device connected next to the adapter in the loop is not operational. |

40 MHz version of the ARM6 Application-Specific Standard Product
(ASSP) version of the new ARM processor, designed the VY86C06040, is pin-to-pin
compatible with lower clock frequency versions. It operates with
a 40 MHz clock and exhibits a peak performance of 40 MIPS and a sustainable
performance of 26 MIPS at 5
> Dave, are the PCI and MCA variants of the SSA adapter close enough
for the PCI drivers to work? Or do I blame all of this on Jolt slushies?
From my experiences in developing various drivers for MCA
adapters under NT, I will answer "no." This is due to the different
way drivers scan their expansion buses for adapters. PCI drivers scan completely
different from the way MCA drivers do. Some drivers, like the one I am
working on with Ryan A., are written smart enough to scan multiple buses
(in this case, it scans ISA, EISA, MCA, and PCI), but I have found that
to be extremely rare.
