- Hi!
-
- I've got a Sun 3/60 that I've currently got a 1.2GB SCSI drive on.
- Currently, I can't have partitions on it that are too large or I will run
- into problems due to the fact that the driver cant handle large drives.
-
- Yes, I'm aware that there is a patch for Sun4's, but I noticed that there
- is NO patch for Sun3's!?!?!? Since the Sun3's essentially have NO support
- for them anymore, I was wondering what the chance would be for Sun to
- release the code for the driver so that I could muck with it in my own
- free time!?!?!? If there is a patch for Sun3's out there that will let
- my system support >1GB drives, PLEASE let me know! If not, it would be
- nice IF Sun would at least give us hackers a chance at it! I know, I
- know.. it's proprietary code... Well??!?!?
