Re: OT: replacing SunSparc 10 faulty network onboard card
Hi, An Ultra 10 (desk side pcish looking case) has 4 PCI slots. Cheap random pci network cards work just fine. I'm sure that I've used 3com 9xx ones and dlink (something or another) ones with no problem. The onboard is a Sun HME. You can get those on a PCI card, and also can get 4 on a single PCI card. Ebay is your friend. A SparcStation 10 is a older pizza box. The onboard is a Sun/AMD LE. You can get cheap HME SBus cards on ebay etc. That said, you will have to work a bit to get a recent Linux on a SparcStation 10. Sadly the 32 bit sparcs aren't maintained anymore. That said, they were quite slow by today's standards. good luck! cheers bruce On Mon, Jul 14, 2008 at 02:29:01PM +0200, Hartwig Atrops wrote: > Hello. > > > I apologize if this's a little off topic, > > I do not think it's off topic. > > > but I have a SunSparc 10 machine > > with a faulty network onboard card, I wonder if it´s posible to replace it > > with a common PCI ethernet card, and if so, how to configure it.

Do you know a possible solution ?. Do we talk about the same machine? A Sun Sparcstation 10 (32 bit CPU) does not have PCI slots. It uses the SBUS. A Sun Ultra 10 (64 bit CPU) has - as far as I remeber - PCI slots. There are also Ultras with SBUS, Ultra 10 should have PCI. Cannot check that today. If you need an SBUS card - try eBay. I bought some there. Regards, Hartwig -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
