[Suns-at-Home] Quad Fast Ethernet on an IPX?

[Sandwich Maker]

" From: "Darrick Burch" <darrick@tuffmail.com>

" Reading Sun's own manuals on this card, I noticed that this card is NOT
" supported on the IPX.  Perhaps this is why I'm having trouble?  Is there a
" reason why this card doesn't work on this machine?  I was merely
" curious...

'not supported' means sun didn't test the combo, probably because the
ipx was eol before the qfe came out.

" Is it possible to upgrade the OBP on this model?  Like you, I was
" suspecting that perhaps my version of OpenBoot had something to do with my
" troubles.  However, I was unable to get out of Sun's website what I needed
" to know, particularly what the latest version of OpenBoot is for this
" machine and what part number the replacement PROM would be.  I'm assuming
" that Sun wouldn't freely distribute the PROM code so that I could burn my
" own.

craig dewick - who just posted - had an archive of obp code at his
site, www.sunshack.org.  just looked and couldn't find it though.
