Hello,

did anyone try to use the above card with driver version 1.3 together
with Solaris 9?
I am planning to do just that on my Ultra 5 and want to know if it will
work, although Sun only mentiones Solaris 8 (or earlier) as a
requirement.
Beside the Solaris version, anyone tried to use W2k Server with this
card?

Thank you
Thorsten

It doesn't work. As far as I can tell, you need the SunPCI version 2
card for use with Solaris 9.

It works with Win2K pro but I think you need patch 110762.

Yes, you can get it to work on Solaris 9, but it is of course unsupported:

1. Before you install the 1.3 software:
- mkdir -p /opt/SUNWspci/drivers/
- cd /opt/SUNWspci/drivers/
- ln -s sunpcidrv.280 sunpcidrv.290
- ln -s sunpcidrv.280.64 sunpcidrv.290.64

2. pkgadd SUNWspci

3. patchadd 110762-04

4. run /opt/SUNWspci/bin/sunpci
- While it builds the new C drive, add 2 linesto the $HOME/pc/SunPC.ini file:

It works with Win2k server as well, though the installation process was
a bit weird. It crashed 3 times, one time taking the whole system down
but the installation continued afterwards and seems to be ok from what
I have seen.

Thank you, I'll give it a try.
