- Me too. After the tidbits here I called HP and tried to pry from them
- something more; the SE I talked to said that it isn't quite fixed yet
- and he didn't know much details, but apparently the following at least
- will no longer be supported:
-
- * 68020-based s300-machines
- * diskless with s800
- * graphics on s800
-
- Looks like we're not going to get rid of 8.0 for quite some time.
- (Next time I hear something will be fixed in 9.0 I may not
- respond too kindly ...)
