To: Alex deVries , parisc-linux@thepuffingroup.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii List-ID: Hi Alex, I asked nearly the same question some months ago, because I needed to understand which CONFIG options should be set for my 715/33. Bill Katz from HP answered: The 715/33 does NOT have either LASI or DINO. It uses an older I/O chip known as ASP. ASP connects the processor bus to several external chips, including the NCR 53c710, Intel LAN and WD 16C552 (? I'm doing this from memory) 2-serial/parallel chip. It uses the PA7100 CPU which does not have GSC. And Mike Hibler answered: We never had a 715/33 so I don't know anything about them. But someone else said they had the ASP which is the "original snakes" IO subsystem (705/710/720/730/750). The ASP is quite similar to the LASI, and there is plenty of code in the Mach sources. Hit your HP sources up for: Corba/Coral I/O Subsystem External Reference Specification Don't have a part or drawing number unfortunately. We have version 1.43 from November 1990. Looks like it came out of Cupertino. Hope that helps. Ulrich --- Alex deVries wrote: > > I have two 715s now, one's a 715/75, the other a > 715/50. > > Exactly how's the IO connected on these boxes?
