Sun

Hello all,

I'm new to Sun stuff (and nekochan, but lurked a lot here to get my O2 running!). I was offered a Sun Ultra 10 with a SunPCi MSKB 18, Penguin 1.1.2, 400MHz (apparently the same model as pictured in wikipedia ), but no hard drives or accessories. I connected a 40GB IDE drive and installed Solaris 8 as it seemed a good match for this hardware, all using serial console, and can now run X through XDMCP on another computer.

However, it's nearly impossible to find the software to get the SunPCi board working, which I believe is called SUNWspci (1.x for this board). Already found patches/updates but I'm missing the base package.

There are somewhat related posts and last year someone graciously offered the SunPC software (I realize it's different from SunPCi), so I'm trying my luck here.

Any pointers are appreciated. Thanks!

You can download any and all versions of the SunPCI software here:

Sorry, but those zips only include the documentation for the cards. It is misleading though.

Indeed. According to this , an Oracle service contract is required to download any Sun software, and isn't even guaranteed to be there anymore. I have stumbled upon some logins on occasion while googling and confirmed that my free account isn't enough.

Huh! You might want to try contacting Mr. Bill, he said at one point he would host those drivers on his site. Contact info is at mrbill.net...

A forum member offered the software in private. Thank you all.

Speaking of, would "a forum member" happen to have the software for the SunPCi II?
