I think those are different cards than mine. They are *very* different cards, indeed. They use an UPA slot (something like the Sun equivalent of what's called AGP on the PC). AFAICT, using a Creator (or Creator 3D) card is by now the only option for a graphical console on FreeBSD/sparc64. > They were also all referring to Ultra-10 systems, mine's a Ultra-60, > but I figure that's not important. The U60 being a workstation, I think it does have an UPA slot, so you could stuff a Creator into it. Server systems usually don't have an UPA slot. No idea how much used Creator cards would run on eBay. -- J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer joerg_wunsch@interface-systems.de http://www.interface-systems.de/~j/
