Hi all,

I'm running a SparcStation 2 under SunOS 4.1.something now and would
like to install Linux on it.

The only problem is that there is a SBus interface card (Xerox 116
Versatec Parallel Interface [VPI]) for which I've got a driver for
Solaris 1 only (that's the reason why the machine won't be upgraded
to Solaris 2, or at least one of the reasons I do present to my boss).

What would be needed for a Linux driver, besides the driver object module
and accompanying software ?
Would it help to shut the machine down and have a closer look into 
the OpenProm structure for this card ?
devinfo output ?

No, I cannot read Sparc assembly fluently.

Any takers ? Feel free to request what you need...

Steffen
