I've just noticed that there is a directory for the sparc port of the 7.2 beta
at the following address:

Does this mean that those of us on the Ultrasparcs and the sparcs will be

Good question. I've looked at a spec sheet and it would seem that it doesn't

mention PCI. I haven't had the machine apart since I did the eprom upgrade to

Not that this helps you any, but my Ultra 1 Creator install went without a
hitch in the network portion. However, on the 7.0 beta I couldn't even get
things to install because it couldn't find the cdrom for the second stage
install.
Just thought I'd mention it so that you know that progress is
