Is anyone working on the keyboard driver for the 715/33 (and presumably some other models)? It appears to be an HIL keyboard, and there's already an HIL driver in arch/m68k/hp300/hil.c. Is this likely to work? Is there any documentation available for this?

Hello all, I recently was given a 715/50 to play around with. Its got an old version of HP/UX running on it and I am getting ready to dump that and look into programming a bit on parisc-linux. Any direction on what can be persued?

Of course my current goal is to get the kernel to cross-compile and then boot from a zip drive... (Looking for that It works message...)

For a start, don't ditch the HP/UX it has running on it unless you have another HP/UX box around to compile kernels with. Right now, we need to use the HP linker.

The kernel as it stands right now probably won't boot on your 715/50. I'm waiting for Philipp to sort out a couple of problems and then I'm going to try to track down why it doesn't boot on my 715/33; the kernel I checked out a week ago wouldn't boot until I put in debugging printks. grr.

hmmm, ok, looks like I'll have to reinstall HP/UX. That's ok, I need to do a little (Ok, a lot) of research on the PARisc architecture to get familiar with it.

I am amazed at every hacker who has a full head of hair... (facial hair does not count...)
