Re: [parisc-linux] NICs on EISA bus...

["James Love" <jlove@scires.com>]

Thanks for the response.
This particular 715 appears to have a Scorpio EISA bus adapter.  I see
no mention of WAX as a device in the boot logs (excerpt appended below).
 Is the Scorpio a good or a bad thing in regards to getting this bus
working?  I also have a 755 with a Cobra EISA BA, any idea whether that
will work either?

It's possible, but I'm not sure it can be done without programming the
WAX interface (that's a thing the person who last read the WAX documents
can tell us ... unfortunately we no longer seem to have a copy of the
docs).
