I'm trying to get this working.
I managed to get 4 IP330's off ebay quite cheaply. I've also got a null modem cable.
I've taked the WD hard drive out and stuck it in my PC. I initially had BTX halted issues, but I've put the hard drive in a much older PC and so far so good.
The main issue is when I connect the null modem cable to the IP330. All I see is 'AT' and nothing else. I've made sure the emulation is VT100, but no dice.
Does anyone know what the issue is? -

Yeah I'm getting the same problem. If I connect the drive up to a PC, i can console in, move the cable over to the 330, and I get the AT problem.
I'm guessing its a pin-out issue or a bios issue, but I just can't diagnose it until I get some new cables myself

Is it possible to upgrade the RAM to 512MB? I found some 512MB sticks for about 7 bucks and have been searching around everywhere but can't find an answer.Reading: What ever is on my desk that day :study: -

Is anyone using a USB-to-Serial cable t console into their Olive? I'm running a Nokia IP 330 and I can console in from a windows machine with a normal 9-pin female to female console cable. My problem is I don't have a windows machine (or any machine) that has a null modem connection. So, I'm forced to use the USB-to-serial adapter. The adapter works fine when I console into my Cisco gear (using either Mac OS X or Ubuntu). When I try to access the Olive, I'm getting a blank screen on my console. Any suggestions and/or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I've managed to get this working, and it's pretty awesome.
However, I upgraded to 8.5 and now it won't boot. I do have 256MB ram so I know it's not that.
Rather I am seeing this on startup:Booting [/kernel]...

For some reason, the kernel is not seeing my CPU class. When I booted Junos7.1 I saw this:CPU: AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor (267.27-MHz 586-class CPU) Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x58c Stepping = 12 Features=0x8021bf<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8,PGE,MMX> AMD Features=0x80000800<SYSCALL,3DNow!> real memory = 268435456 (262144K bytes)
It's exactly the same box. Did Juniper remove something from the kernel that prevented it from seeing this CPU?
Has anyone got any version of 8.x/9.x or 10.x working on these boxes? -

Somewhere in JunOS 7.x they started to require a Pentium II class CPU or better which your K6 isn't.It's exactly the same box. Did Juniper remove something from the kernel that prevented it from seeing this CPU? -

That's what I thought, but seraphus seems to have 8.3 running on his 1U olive? -

Hmm. What FreeBSD are you using and did you do the upgrade process or start from scratch?That's what I thought, but seraphus seems to have 8.3 running on his 1U olive? -

Installed 4.4 mini - then installed JUNOS 7.1 - then upgraded to JUNOS 8.5 - once rebooted no longer started -

I have some highend crossbeams at home I picked up for very very cheap. I wondered about trying to use these as some kind of blade olive. This seems like a much better idea since I have existing Cisco infrastructure this would work perfectly with. Cheers!

Got mine up and running on 7.3R3.6 but for some reason I cannot get physical layer up. No activity.
