- I have an application which I currently use an IPC for. The IPC was
- purchased as a diskless, headless unit, since it only had to be a
- drone with a MAU port and an sbus slot. Well, the computer store here
- at the UofT says I can't get the IPC (or anything else for that
- matter) headless/diskless anymore. But this cheap ELC thing (which
- has more horsepower anyway) is available. Problem is: does the ELC
- have an sbus slot in it? The marketing blurbs they get don't specify.
-
- On a related note: I have been using the miniroot kernel and a small
- memory resident file system on this project, but would prefer to
- remove the extras from the miniroot kernel. Where can I get ahold of
- what I need to configure this kernel? (the standard distribution only
- has what's needed for building a regular kernel, and hacking miniroot is
- not the answer, though it does work)
