Very Computer

I have some older HP-Workstations (9000/720 and 735b)
standing around here and got some 3c597 ethernet cards
because I want to coonnect them to 100mbit ethernet.

I want to know if it is possible to use the 3c597
card with HPUX 10.20.

I treid out the phobos H100 driver bescause
if have heard that the Phobos cards are relabeled
3c597 cards. I did not succes with the latest
version of the H100 driver, becuase it compliance
about "unknown hardware".

I guess the situation is just like on the SGI Indigo2
system: The Phobos cards for these systems are slightly
modified 3c597 card and the phobos driver refused
working with all standart 3c597 card, if the driver
is not patched.

So I want to know if anyone out there has found a
solution to make the standart 3c597 cards work
under HPUX 10.20.

The same here, the Phobos Kernel module detects "unknown" hardware. but
the card is correctly installed (eisa_config and ioscan shows the card)
So.. same problem here ;)

You would have to either patch (nefarious) or write a driver to accept
that card.

feel free to post, OR email to raj in cup.hp.com  but NOT BOTH...

In an earlier message in this forum, someone mentioned a patch method.  I
think it was IRIX related, but should apply (as the Phobos IRIX card was the
same as the HPUX card with a different driver).

As far as I know, the Phobos card is just a different firmware on the
card... one wonders if they would allow us to have the firmware mods now
that they are no longer selling the card.

The reply and driver files where originally for SGI, the post was in the
last 2 weeks, because I have a 735 that is the only 10MB system left on
my net and if I could get a card for it I would be all set too! Look up
the thread  because there are good files for the HPUX port and the
workarounds, it uses the "vendor" driver with a slight hack. Anyone got
a card they want to sell cheap? Thankx.

Take it as a good point ;). I only have FDDI, and no PCI card and/or FDDI
cable to setup a router. So my 735 is not connected to my LAN :(

Why cant you use the onboard 10MB lan interface?

There is no 802.3 Module. The 735/125 was shipped wit a network "module"
which you can plug it in or remove it.
(http://pofo.de/pics/private/home/2001-now/02/31.jpg) And these module is
a FDDI module, OR a 802.3 module. And i got a 735/125 with a FDDI
module...
