HP9000 800/G30 and G50 Support?
Hi Everyone,
I have come across some G30's and G50's in my travels.
I hit the archive (via a google search) and there was mention that the G30 was too old and not likely supported, is this the case?
Thanks,
Pete.

I still haven't been able to acertain if this archcetecture is supprted with the linux port... Anyone willing to offer a yes or no?

Yep you're right...
I even remember reading it.. I wasn't making a correlation to the server model and what was written, don't ask why, it's not that unclear in the faq.
-- snip --
The earliest PA-RISC servers have proprietary HP devices attached to proprietary HP bus architectures. It is unlikely that documentation on these busses and devices will ever become available, since so few people are interested in spending any effort finding and releasing the docs. Machines in this category are the E, F, G, H, I class (aka Nova) and T500 series (Emerald) machines as well as some earlier, unlettered servers.
-- snip --
Having said that the G30 and G50 obviously fall into the list of lettered machines not supported.
Thanks..
Pete.
Re: [parisc-linux] 800/G30, G50, E55 Support?
But there are some people who are interested in writing drivers for these machines and I want to use my E55 (9000/856). I only need the input (doucmentation, HP-UX sources, etc) to do such work (especially for the 8-port serial multiplexer). Of cource I can only do that in my spare time, and of course I will have problems and cannot do it in only a few days, but I am interested in having a full E55 support, although I have to work on it.
Where can I get the INFOS to do that ????
With friendly regards
Christoph

I've sent some HP internal URLs to someone in HP who expressed interested in getting SPIFI (NIO SCSI) docs published. I haven't heard back from him in a while.
Someone from HP who shares your interest can do either (or both) of the following two things:
o write and publish an initial version of the code you need and provide technical support when needed. This is what I did for ccio code. (which is trivial compared to writing SPIFI chip support)
o Enable someone else to write the code by: review the relevant unpublished docs, fix references to IP not owned by HP, delete people/project names, get an HP attorney to review and bless the result.
Any other takers inside HP?
If so reply to me privately and I'll try to help locate the documents.

Plaese, contact me, if there is a chance to do something for my E55 !

Re: [parisc-linux] 800/G30, G50, E55 Support?
In reply to Grant GrundlerHe, that's interesting:
See link:
http://www.mkg.sfc.keio.ac.jp/support/FAQ/README
Here a copy and paste out of it:
2.2 MIPS
RT-Mach and 4.4BSD Lite server for MIPS-based Sony NEWS workstation currently support the following devices.
CPU: R4400 (and compatibles).
Devices:Built-in Serial (Zilog 85230 ESCC)
Built-in SCSI (HP SPIFI) Built-in Ethernet (Sony SONIC) Video Board (NWB-1102) Keyboard
Mouse
It seem as they support the SPIFI of HP !
I have not downloaded yet. I have to register and I want to read around that stuff.
I also does not know, if this is a source snapshot.
But perhaps it can help .....
Cheers
Christoph
