References: <3A770170.11858.64A68@localhost>; from plaven@ozemail.com.au on Tue, Jan 30, 2001 at 06:01:20PM +1100 <3A78537C.11739.D334D@localhost> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii List-ID: But there are some people who are interested in writing drivers for these machines and I want to use my E55 (9000/856). I only need the input (doucmentation, HP-UX sources, etc) to do such work (especially for the 8-port serial multiplexer). Of cource I can only do that in my spare time, and of course I will have problems and cannot do it in only a few days, but I am interested in having a full E55 support, although I have to work on it. Where can I get the INFOS to do that ???? With friendly regards Christoph Pete wrote: > > > > I still haven't been able to acertain if this archcetecture is supprted > > > with the linux port...
