I contacted HP in parallel to the PA-RISC hacker, because I am interested in using my HP server E55 (9000/856) machine with HPPA Linux (puffing group...). But this series of server has old proprietary interface, and so there are no drivers for the interfaces (SCSI, 8-port serial board multiplexer and parallel interface). In my so little spare time, I am interested to work on that part for having my E55 supported. Is there a possibility to get information (hardware docu, HP-UX driver sources, etc) tp be able to do this work ? Can anybody of the HP teams (hardware, device driver programmer, system programmer) help me in this point ?
