I have access to an old Ultra1/170E (Ultra1, 167MHz cpu, Creator3D FFB) with aprox. 6 gigs of disk space (3 2.1Gig drives...). as an OLD (and I do mean OLD, 52 years....sheesh)... freebsd user (no I haven't been USING freebsd for 52 years, been using it since the days of 1.0C/D....) I'd LOVE to have it running on the old Ultra1. I've CURRENTY got SuSE Linux on it, but, IF I could get the START of an FBSD system on it, I'd be willing to do development work to help make the port usable... HOW functional is the current image??? i.e. does it support Ultra1 with the HME and onboard SCSI (also have SBUS SCSI card as well, don't remember the model, but 'tis fast/wide SCSI...) does it have ANY Creator3D (ffb) device support??? I can be reached at EITHER the 'steve.combs@indsys.ge.com' address OR (once they FINALLY get my CableModem access fixed...) at 'steve.combs@adelphia.net'... Not going to have a LOT of time, but got hardware and am willing to devote some hours/week to the project... -- Stephen F.
