 Firewire for Ultra60 - Linux Hi > > There are two register set standards for USB 1.1 chips: UHCI and OHCI. Sun > and Mac only support OHCI chips. Via and Intel use UHCI, OPTI and macbe NEC > use OHCI. > > So go to a store and have a look at the USB chip on the card. Or, easier, > ask for Mac USB cards - they will work for you as well I read the above post re fitting USB cards to Ultra60s. I've tried an ex-PC firewire PCI card which seems to be recognised at boot and the 1394-OHCI driver loaded etc. but no joy at actually seeing devices on the card! I'm now wondering whether trying an ex-Mac firewire card is the next step or whether I'm just being daft and failing to mount the drive correctly? Is the above post relevant to Firewire as well as USB? Has anyone any experience of this? Preferably under linux rather than solaris? thanks, John      |

Do you get any error messages with dmesg when you load the driver? Do you have the right type of protocol driver enabled? Do you use kernel 2.6 or 2.4? (keep in mind 2.6 is still quite unstable for sparc). > I'm now wondering whether trying an ex-Mac firewire card is the next > step or whether I'm just being daft and failing to mount the drive > correctly? Is the above post relevant to Firewire as well as USB? I doubt there will be any difference here, just that you have to pay more. > Has anyone any experience of this? Preferably under linux rather than > solaris? Few here uses linux and on linux newsgroups few uses sparc, better to hang around your distros sparc maillist, forum or/and irc-channel. //Aho |
