(See my other message to the list about the >woes with the SunPCI). Thanks to Greg <gonufer@yahoo.com> and kevin graham <kgraham@dotnetdotcom.org>. Greg, who's message strongly suggests he works for Sun, was adamant about the generic OBP and those for the SparcEngine not being compatible. He mentioned having found a slightly later OBP update for the SparcEngine internally at Sun. (In addition, he sent strong unsolicited opinions about the SparcEngine itself.) I forwarded Greg's message to Kevin, who had offered to sacrifice an unused SparcEngine to a test. So, it looks like my efforts to get to a supported OBP for the SunPCI II board are at an unsuccessful end. The SunPCI continues to crash the X server and log me off. -- Tim Evans | 5 Chestnut Court tkevans@tkevans.com | Owings Mills, MD 21117 http://www.tkevans.com/tkevans.html | (443) 394-3864 _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Tue Nov 6 05:54:13 2001
