Hello All, I have a SunPCi II (model #: X2131A) board with memory and Sun PCi II 2.2.1 software for 20.00. I can bring it to next week's meeting, if anyone is interested. From http://www.mmayer.net/sunpci/sunpcii.html: * Processor: Intel Celeron * Clock: 600 MHz * Memory: 64 MB (max. 512 MB) * Part Number: X2131A (#375-0131) * Software Version: 2.2.1 * Supported Machines: Sun Ultra and Blade Workstations (Ultra 5, 10, 30, 60, 80, or 450; Sun Blade 100, or 1000) * Supported Guest OSes: DOS and Windows 3.11, Windows 9x, Windows NT Workstation 4.0, Windows 2000 Professional * Solaris Versions: 2.6 and above I thought I would see if I could get Linux to run on it when I bought it, but between school and work I haven't had time... -Adam

yeah, linux sparc peeps usually have stacks of these things because they're totally unsupported when the host operating system is linux so unless you can run Solaris on the host machine, might as well just use the card for jewelry or something ;) -mike
Heh, It's pretty big, but with a large clock and fat 14k gold chain it will make a fine piece of geek bling! ;-) -Adam On Aug 5, 2005, at 12:40 AM, Mike Frysinger wrote:

I've got a couple of flavors on Linux running on my machine and I'm looking to add another HD to the system to get another couple of distros running. If you're like me, you've probably got boxes of random computer parts sitting around your desk/office "waiting" to be put to good use... The one thing I >>don't<< have is a PCI card that'll add an extra IDE channel. Does anyone have an old one they'd part with? I'd gladly pay for it but donations are also accepted. :) I'm in Worcester/Framingham and can easily pick it up... Thanks! --Track

actually i have a 66mhz card i was using in a raid, but i dont need it anymore since ive dismantled said raid, so you're welcome to it i forget exactly what it is, but linux-2.4 and linux-2.6 have drivers for it and they seemed pretty solid -mike
