Rest assured, that C3000 and J5000 are put to good use by people even if they run hppa instead of hppa64. But I'm planning to get hppa64 running too on these boxes eventually. Anyway, if you, or someone else on the list, has hppa machines with "NCR 53C720 FW-SCSI" at gsc0 (type a sv 7c mod 0 hv 90) offset 830000 not configured or "FW SCSI" at mainbus0 (type 4 sv 89 mod 1 hv f0) offset 3f8c000 not configured in their dmesg, could you please contact me off list? Regarding the D-class and K-class model numbers, I'm interested in (partial) dmesgs of all machines that don't have OpenBSD listed as a supported OS on http://openpa.net/systems/index.html. Basically, all K-class models and all D-class models except the D-220/230 and D-320/330. Cheers, Mark
