[parisc-linux] hp9000/827s

[Dunc]

Hi,

I have been attempting to install on a hp9000/827s

It contains a

A1703-60022 card which has SCSI,parallel and serial interfaces.

The serial port is a D-type connector with 3 rows, and connects to an 8 way
serial splitter, port #1 of which is the console.

No graphics card.

Boot from CD fine,

get the 'You may need to switch console' message.

no further output.....


What I am wondering is if installation is supported via this card, and/or wether
it is referenced differently (i.e. not /dev/ttyS0)

I have a HP 700/96 serial terminal.

Cheers,

Dunc

According to hp9000_models;
8x7/F10-I40      Old Nova servers    PCXS    NIO, None     NIO(1),NIO(2),NA

Basically, nothing is going to work.  There's some limited support for
the console in these machines, but no support for the SCSI, the Lan or
any other cards.  Sorry.

Hello,

by the way, are there plans for supporting the good old machines.
You know, I am interested in writing the drivers for my E55 server
machine, my PDC console driver should help for development here.

I hope we will have a chance to start developing ....

With friendly regards
Christoph P.

IMHO all HP hardware is of exceptional quality. I have used their
products for years all the way from RPN calculators, to a Pavilion PC,
to a 715/80, to a C200. They are without a doubt the best computer
company ever. When I was at Penn State, I learned MC68000 assembly
on a HP minicomputer running a whole lab of terminals (we used VI)
and had a great time with it!

I love this new C200 I got. Unfortunately, as a home computer hobbyist,
I cannot afford to purchase their newer hardware, but they seem to be
a great platform to port linux to. Linux is a great home OS because
it has thousands of apps available and makes an excellent experimenter
system. HP/UX is great for high-end engineering apps on the cutting edge
of technology but by the time these systems filter down to the home
user Linux becomes a lot more attractive because the big $$$ CAD apps
have probably been deleted and us experimenters can't afford to license
such things.

I am probably pushing my luck here as this is not really kernel-specific
stuff, but if any cpu's ever made sense they were the HP ones. They had
their crap together in a big way, a pa-risc cpu is a programmer's dream.

Just do it!
