I inherited an HP 715/80 (It had HP-UX 10.01 on it originally, and I still
have the original install media) some time ago and am trying to get it up
and running so I can do something useful with it.
I have downloaded and installed PA-Risc Linux 0.93 (I tried several attempts
with network images, but couldn't figure out how to get my 10/100 VG EISA
card working and don't have an aui-Ethernet transceiver for the built-in
nic). I thought about downloading the Debian ISO's ... but life is just too
short for that many ISO downloads on a low-speed ADSL link ...
I would greatly appreciate some pointers on how to get a NIC working on this
beast so I can connect to the network and update the packages on-board to
hopefully get my system in a state where I can do something useful with it.
In addition to the built-in Ethernet and the EISA 10/100 VG card, I have a
collection of 3COM ISA cards that I can insert in a pinch.
I'm not much of a C programmer (more of a m$ windoze gui guy), but I'm
willing to provide my 2 cents worth towards developing/editing/maintaining
documentation (when my 5 kids give me the chance). And I'm willing to give
anything a try ...
Cheers
Shane Brodie
