... Has anyone contemplated the idea of making an sbus card with a
modern chipset? :o) I think it'd be cool to have like a double wide sbus
card with a voodoo 2 or TNT chipset...
.. Other then that i'm kinda proud of myself, I finally got a sparc box
up and running BSD (sorry, it is the Open varient) complete with X and
only 11 megs of space left on the 200mb hd... :o/ Anyone got some
pointers to a drive I might use in an SS IPC as an upgrade? Already
tried a spare IBM 1GB, didn't wanna work.
I still have hopes of getting my old 4/110 VME working, but since I seem
to have toasted the SCSI controller whilst trying to get a drive, any
drive, besides the tape to work, i'm kinda stuck with net booting it and
would _love_ to be running NetBSD on it. My linux based boot server
doesn't seem to be doing the trick, so i'd love to get my IPC rigged to
host the remote boot...
