    I have two of these cards, and have had one successfuly working in a
    Sparcstation LX with Solaris 2.7. I have the old Parallax Web Site archived
    on a CD, with app notes, cable diagrams, and the drivers for solaris 1.1 and
    2.7. AFAIK, there is no support in SuSE Linux for this card. (I ended up
    yanking it out of the system, before installing SuSE/Sparc 7.0 on the LX).

    Is this a project that the [suse-sparc] community would be interested in?

    regards
    alex
