I have installed an SBus QFE into a 70 MHz SS5 system a few days ago and the card was detected straight away by the openboot firmware during a diagnostic boot to test that it was found. The OBP firmware version is fairly old too (around 2.15). SS5's OBP versions run up to 2.24 (or higher on Turbosparc system boards). Does the OS Installation have the right software packages?

Also check that it it a QFE not a QE. The old QE boards are not supported in Solaris 9. -- My real address is crn (at) netunix (dot) com WARNING all messages containing attachments or html will be silently deleted.
