Despite what the page had said before I think "U1E" is actually a common name for one of two different versions of the Ultra-1 machines. The two are significantly different, and we actually do not support the "U1". The normal U1 has a Lance Ethernet controller chip for its on-board interface and has a "narrow" SCSI interface connector coming out its back. I don't think we have a Lance Ethernet driver at all, and that machine's SCSI controller is different enough from the U1E's controller that it doesn't work. I think. :-) The U1E has a HME onboard ethernet controller and a wide SCSI connector coming out the back. You might want to wait a day or two or three before making the change to the page to see if anyone else replies. I actually have both of the different Ultra-1 variants and the case of each has the names I describe above. But others might have input. :-) -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel |
