I wasn't making a correlation to the server model and what was written, don't ask why, it's not that unclear in the faq. -- snip -- The earliest PA-RISC servers have proprietary HP devices attached to proprietary HP bus architectures. It is unlikely that documentation on these busses and devices will ever become available, since so few people are interested in spending any effort finding and releasing the docs. Machines in this category are the E, F, G, H, I class (aka Nova) and T500 series (Emerald) machines as well as some earlier, unlettered servers. -- snip -- Having said that the G30 and G50 obviously fall into the list of lettered machines not supported. Thanks.. Pete.
