Hi Folks

Have recently picked up four SunPC SBUS Cards (486DX on an Sbus card) and am now looking for the driver software for SunOS and Solaris. If anyone has any pointers or an image I can download that would be great.

Thanks in advance

Richard

These were just discussed here a couple of weeks ago. I've archived
them...If someone doesn't pipe up, ping me off-list and I'll make them
available.

Thanks Dave

Ah yes, was probably what sent me on the journey to track down a couple of cards :-) . I have found that thread and the related message pointing to http://shelldozer.im/sunpc/

Software obtained. Thanks again.

Hi Dave

Thanks and will see what I can do. I really should build a website one of these days with all the little side tracks I have going :-)

For insight:

I am bringing up on one of my SS20 running Solaris 2.4 using the SunPC 4.2 software.

If anyone has SunPC 3.1 (SunOS 4.1.x) or Sun PC 4.1 (Solaris 2.2,2.1) I would still be interested in links to those.

I wonder how it will compare to my Sun 386i for DOS/Win 3.0 speed :-) (Should put photos of that up too)

Thanks in advance

Richard

I found a SunPC hiding in a forgotten box downstairs this weekend while
looking for a good tape drive that might work with the Sun2's. It has
the Sun PC 4.1 CD and I can make an ISO for you if you need it.

Solaris 2.x drivers (original CD image with added final-jumbo-patch
included) can be found at http://www.shelldozer.im/sunpc

Hi Richard,

I forgot to mention - if you need the latest Solaris 2.4/2.5/2.6
recommended patch clusters (kernel patches etc), to go with the SunPC
software, then drop me a line.

Regards,
