[parisc-linux] 715/33 PDC v1.4 firmware

[Igor Grinchenko]

HEllo everyone,

does anybody on that list have an old Firmware patch for 715/33?
1.6 doesn't seem to support 715/33 so I think 1.4 is what I need.
HP calles it PF_C7X50014, but I can't download it from their website, b/c it
was substituted by 1.6(which doesn't support 33)

any replies appreciated, please CC me in reply, I'm not subscribed to that
list.

Igor

The 715/old (aka 33,50,75) are not user upgradable, you'd have to swap
the firmware chip. The version you're talking about above(1.6, 1.4) are
for the 715/new (aka 64,80,100). And as someone(ggg?) recently pointed
out these don't work for the 715/100XC either.

Since your system isn't user upgradable, you have the same firmware as
everyone else. So you can bet any generic problem encountered will either
be worked around in software or broken for everyone :)
